•  Support - Very colorful. Small picture, but the fish is only approximately 55 mm per this PDF. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:11, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment Googling this fish, it looks as if the colours here are way oversaturated. Charles (talk) 09:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose I agree with Charles, but since this is from Flickr, I don't think we can get a new version of it (I know Richard's mother, but that is not the right way to approach him about photos). Underwater photos are too tricky to de-saturate in the right way from jpeg so I wouldn't even try. --Cart (talk) 18:12, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• A Google Image search returns some others with bright colors. No strong opinion on this one from me, though. Mainly commented because I know Richard's mother, but that is not the right way to approach him about photos is not something I would've expected to read on Commons. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  03:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

• Sweden is a small place. Also: Hey, it's me, you should expect the unexpected. :)

Seriously, yes these fishies are colorful, but this is too much. The underwater light makes the over-saturated areas "bleed" over and blend with other areas. Too hard to separate the colors with only the jpeg to work with, might be impossible even with raw. --Cart (talk) 04:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Rhododendrites. I'd like to hear from anyone who's seen this fish in person. For now, I'll keep my supporting vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:31, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Neutral Googling this fish, the species has iridescent colors. Many ones look similar. It is possible the saturation has been slightly increased, but not at a crazy level. And also note the background is darker than in most of the available similar images, which means a natural contrast can produce this effect. Now the saturation can be dialed down a bit, even though it's a naturally beautiful specimen 🐠. Nice and sharp picture, with metadata, but not huge in size -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:38, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
