Comment It doesn't really stand out from the background. Charles (talk) 19:09, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- That is called camouflage... Yann (talk) 19:35, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose - Right, but it doesn't help this picture, since the prevailing foreground color is gray. Good QI for sure, but not an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:47, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment You are right, for first I planned the photo with a pink bottom and a yellow background, especially for the nomination as FP, so that the lizard stands well out from the background ;-) --Llez (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
- Actually the lizard camouflage is probably the most interesting here: it has yellow spots to match the lichen on the rock. The moult process can also be seen. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment Perfect for VI, and most of my lizard shots are like this, but FP needs something that displays the reptile better: blurred background, natural habitat, mouth open, head up, tongue showing, eating etc. Charles (talk) 08:04, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Info What do you mean by "needs...natural habitat"? The photo was taken exacly here in its natural habitat! If you have a close look on the linked picture you will see a lizard on the wall (with the same background as above) --Llez (talk) 08:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
- I don't consider a man-made wall as natural habitat. Charles (talk) 14:14, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
- PS: Thanks Yann for the nomination --Llez (talk) 08:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, but I'm afraid the background is too busy and intrusive, and the animal looks as if it's heading off out of the image. MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:13, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per clashing background noted by others. Daniel Case (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination OK, I will find a dancing lizard in a fluo dress. Yann (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
