Mantis shrimp from front

Original - Frontal view of a mantis shrimp showing eye stalks, claws, and fluorescence.

Reason: Captures the finer features of a mantis shrimp with remarkable detail, including fluorescence (maybe it could benefit from cropping but I do not know how).

Support Very clear, detailed pictures which benefits the article it is in. Andy (talk) 22:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
questions who created it? What are the circumstances of the shot? It looks interesting but overprocessed. de Bivort 01:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Metadata give no evidence of processing. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 02:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support - it seems a bit blurry, but its also clear enough to see the unique details of the image.--Tru co 01:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's definitely informative. It shows the colors quite well, more so than most pictures of the subject. Might it be possible, though, to clean the background up a bit? Sophus Bie ^(talk) 03:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Whoa, whoa, whoa. We just can't go promote any picture with EV to FP. This is extremely dark, I can barely make out the subject, let alone the features in detail. Also, see debivort's comments above, this is not FP material, although it is interesting. Sorry ;( ₪Ceran →(slip→sled →snow) 02:24, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Ceranthor, how do you propose a photograph demonstrate fluorescence without being darkness? TAway (talk) 03:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not all subjects can realistically be illustrated to FP standard, though. Nobody is contending that it isn't a good example of fluorescence. It just isn't up to the technical standards of FP, thats all. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 21:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Just a bit soft and 'processed' looking. Admittedly a difficult subject to photograph, but probably more of a VP candidate than FP. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 21:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Poor lighting, Contrast/Saturation possibly fiddled with. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
