Original – A flying gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans) in the Mediterranean east of Crete, Greece, approx. depth of 3–5 m (10–16 ft).

Reason: High resolution, good quality for the age... in almost ten years we haven't gotten anything better. Hafs showed this to me, and I was wowed.

A type of fish with semi-transparent "wings". Never heard of it before Hafs brought this to my attention. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Minor technical flaws, but it's good for underwater photography and even better from 2006. I didn't know fish like this existed. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 09:21, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
