•  Oppose Technical quality - only very small part of serpent is in focus... --Karelj (talk) 16:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment How could it be in focus as it's in the water ! Refraction in NOT our friend in this case. I have tried to ask it to come on the ground but it did not agree, the weather is too hot. J-Luc (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support The picture is amazing. Yes, could have been better technically, but nevertheless amazing. Technical shortcomings are not that bad. Barabas (talk) 18:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I hope it is not a zoo image?--Sensl (talk) 19:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Info For sure, no, it is geotagged ! J-Luc (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose DOF is 2 shallow .. only 25% of the image is inside the focal-plane + composition is a tad 2 confusing 4 my taste --Richard Bartz (talk) 03:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose DOF too shallow Ianare (talk) 04:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Just a little comment. As these snakes are always in the water, the body in completely under the surface and it's IMPOSSIBLE to have it sharp. So I have focused on the eyes and the part between the observer and the snake J-Luc (talk) 07:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

• • Je sais que les couleuvres passent beaucoup de leur temps dans l'eau, mais ce n'est pas pour ça que la photo devrait être floue. Avec une ouverture plus petite ( 9 peut être ? ) et une mise au point sur les yeux et le corps au lieu de l'avant plan, le résultat aurait été meilleur. Sinon la composition est vraiment très bonne. Courage tu y est presque ! Ianare (talk) 18:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
  • C'est ouvert à 7 et je ne pouvais pas faire mieux, on est à main levée et pas sur pied et j'étais à 400ASA pour ne pas avoir de bruit. Le focus est sur les yeux. De toutes façons, le corps étant dans l'eau, il ne peut pas être net. Merci du commentaire. J-Luc (talk) 13:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination The criterias needed for "featured images" are sometimes not compatible with real world constraints. J-Luc (talk) 07:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
