 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 15:10, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose It looked promising at thumbnail size, but at full size it is noisy and out of focus, sadly. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:32, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Disappointing in full size (above 15MP); but very good in reasonable size. Most pictures here are only in minimum size required. J Kadavoor J e e 13:49, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason we have to go off of the full size and not the thumbnail, along with why the size requirements are so large, is that images have to be able to be resized as needed for use on and off Wikipedia as allowable per the license. In short, it's the full size image being nominated and that has to be useable, not the thumbnail.  Cat-five  t  c   16:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think what Jkadavoor means to say is that the picture is much larger than the size requirements, and if it was downsampled to a smaller size then most of the quality issues would have also looked better. So it shouldn't be judged for the worse for that. Also, if I might add, the quality seems quite good for underwater photography. Tomer T (talk) 22:47, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Exactly. J Kadavoor J e e 05:49, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per my reasoning above, the full image is not FP material IMO because of the noise. Cat-five  t  c   16:46, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support per commons. H. W. Calhoun (talk) 21:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support For underwater photography, I do think this is quite good, and much of it doesn't have noise issues. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC) Per Calhoun, below. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: upon further inspection of this image, it looks like it's actually not underwater photography and actually taken from behind glass. Looking at the bottom-right corner and the area around the flounder's mouth there's marks that makes it look like there's glass there. H. W. Calhoun (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
