Alt 1

• Support as nominator --ELEKHH^T 08:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
• Comment: Is there a reason this one is not used in the infobox? What does the other offer that this doesn't? J Milburn (talk) 16:26, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Not really, so I moved it to the infobox. --ELEKHH^T 00:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
• Question does it always have that ugly plant growing out of its back? --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 19:56, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I'm pretty sure they're the cerata. They're functionally similar to gills, although with several additional uses. (also, Support both Room for two. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:25, 3 August 2013 (UTC)) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:33, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Well then, odd body part clarified, Support. Thanks Adam. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 21:52, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
      • I also support the Alt. Either one is good for me, though I do feel the Alt has a bit more EV in regards to the animal itself and the original more EV in regards to the environment. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
• Comment. Fantastic picture of a fantastic creature. 86.160.215.247 (talk) 02:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
• Support Original Will be hard to find a better picture of this creature. Mattximus (talk) 03:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose original, support alt I think File:Nembrotha_cristata_2.jpg has less ambiguity about the growths on the creature's back. It also shows the mouth and that the neck may curve up from the abdomen. --Pine^✉ 05:52, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I understand why you like the alt, but I don't think that is a reason to oppose the original which shows the nudibranch from a different angle and with a better depiction of its natural habitat (and therefore has considerable EV also in the Bunaken article). Probably the alt could replace the current side-view image in the article. --ELEKHH^T 07:29, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
• Conditional support original Criteria 7: "descriptive, informative and complete file description in English", please expand description further. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 06:28, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Conditions met, thanks for notifying me Armbrust. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 22:56, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
• For what it's worth, I support the ALT... if we can count that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
• I'm late to the party on this one, but I would support the Alt as well. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Promoted File:Nembrotha cristata bunaken.jpg --Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

• The alternative didn't have enough support at the end of the voting period. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
  • I see Adam and Wingtip saying they support both, Pine opposing the original and supporting the alt, and two late !votes which show a preference for the ALT. Elekhh did not mention the alt at all, while the other two only supported the original. Excluding the late !votes, that's Original 5-1, ALT 4-0. Just in case the numbers are unclear. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
    • Just noting that the Alt was only included in the broader article about the genus but not the article about the species, that's why I abstained at this time. I added it now to the species article where I think it fits very well together with the currently promoted image. If it stays stable it might be worth re-nominating as a second FP. --ELEKHH^T 06:44, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
