Large Saltwater Crocodile Portrait edit

Original - Close-up of a very large male Saltwater Crocodile's head

Reason: I think its a good quality image that shows the subject's head features well. Also the subject is an exceptional one in that it is a very large male saltwater crocodile up close in natural looking surroundings. I therefore think its a valuable contribution to the Saltwater Crocodile article.

weak support Nice shot, no technical probs that my slightly dodgy vision can pic up, but would be full support if the pic showed full body of the croc, like the picture also up for nom of another croc. Gazhiley (talk) 10:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't see whats wrong with a head shot of a crocodile... it is the business end after all? Sure full body shots are useful also.. to me its like saying the Mona Lisa would be better if it showed her whole body... djambalawa (talk) 13:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is it just me or is the tagline slightly clumsy? The impression I get when reading it is that it is the crocodile who has nominated the portrait of himself! Lemon martini (talk) 14:01, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - So good that I couldn't even tell where the crocodile was on the thumbnail. Excellent image for natural camo, also just generally as an image of a crocodile. Great EV, great 'wow' factor. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 04:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose great image but poor placement and sizing in the article as well as a poor caption with no indication of how it adds anything over and above the numerous other images in the article, including another close up of a crocodiles head. Guest9999 (talk) 21:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
