 * Reason: Nice res. for underwater photo (15-17m below sea level.)
 * Articles in which this image appears:Amphiprioninae (Clownfish)
 * FP category for this image:Biology
 * Creator:Ritik


 * Support as nominator --Ritiks (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak support Composition and resolution are OK. There is a lot of image noise but considering the depth (and the limited amount of light in the deep sea) that should be acceptable. Part of the fish is not entirely in focus (but again, due to the low light available, the aperture needed to be wide open). However, I should like the image description page to clearly indicate which species this is and add it to the appropriate category on Wikimedia Commons.

 * Oppose upon more careful inspection of the image and comparison to other underwater featured images, I now see the flaws mentioned by Raeky and withdraw my support. Purpy Pupple (talk) 19:27, 24 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Note: nominator is now blocked for a week. We could suspend this, but I'd favor a speedy close. Chick Bowen 15:08, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think the nominator being banned has much bearing on a FPC nomination, there's no reason to suspend/close them? — raeky  t  18:15, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose as for this image, it's just not high enough quality for what we normally except for underwater photography. The whites are blown on the fish, it's not very sharp, and other flaws makes it not exceptional enough for promotion. — raeky  t  18:15, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
