•  Info Sunset sky reflects in the shallow w:tide pools in Kona, w:Hawaii. The "rocks" in foreground are actually not rocks, but Green turtles (Chelonia mydas). One of them got his head up to breath.

•  Oppose ??? Picture is tilted, turtles can as well be rocks as they are completely out of focus (I'm not doubting you here, Mila) and picture lacks wow. Lycaon (talk) 16:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Hans! I mean it. I've missed you opposing my images. I even thought that you are upset with me. :=) I'm glad we're back to normal. And yes, you are absolutely right, it is hard to say that the "rocks" are actually turtles. --Mbz1 (talk) 16:23, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Lyacon. I actually think this would be better if it only focused on the turtles, and left the sunset out. --IG-64 (talk) 16:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Normal photo, nothing special. --Dezidor (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

  So sunset with two green turtles in the foreground is normal? Are you serious? --norro 17:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• Strong  Oppose. Blurry, rotation needed, overexposed --Dmitry A. Mottl (talk) 17:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
