 * Reason:Algae are very underrepresented in our FP collection - there's only one other image. Shows this seaweed in its natural environment (shallow water) which makes the execution more difficult. Was featured on Commons this month.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Fucus vesiculosus
 * FP category for this image:Looks like we need to create a new category under Featured pictures/Other lifeforms.

 * Comment – not sure about the surface reflections and the wow factor. A polarizing filter could have removed the surface reflections. Perhaps better lighting conditions for wow factor? These two, have better wow factor, but they have other problems! Bammesk (talk) 14:04, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, the photo is taken at noon on a clear day with the sun blazing down on the wrack, you can't get any more light than that. Unfortunately, the water 'steals' so much of the light and a polarizing filter is not an option for the same reason. I've tried it and I had to go way up high in the ISO then to get a short enough time with a reasonable DoF since things in water move constantly. --cart -Talk  14:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose Very unremarkable image; perhaps a candidate for VI. DonFB (talk) 05:45, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support I think the EV is good and it's something a bit difficult to get a 'nice' photo that people will vote for. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:57, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose Very unremarkable, per my vote on Commons -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:26, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
