 * Support good image, good EV. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  22:27, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Red channel is completely blown on large areas of the fish. Julia\talk  15:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Julia. The red is rather prominent. Dusty 777 16:02, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As I said above, I've looked at other pictures of this fish on the internet and they all show this fish to be an amazingly bright orange. I don't think this photograph is unrealistic. Pine✉ 21:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what Dusty meant, but my oppose is based on a technical shortcoming of the photograph. I agree that the colour is probably realistic, but the execution here is poor because the red channel is blown.  The result is a severe loss of detail, such that the scales, which should be crisply visible, are smudged and fuzzy or in some areas even absent.  There are several ways you can check for this technical aspect yourself in an image editing program, but the histogram is the easiest starting point.  Julia\talk  22:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that the image could show the scales in more detail like the photo at http://showyourfishes.com/flame_angelfish/ but I'm not sure the problems are bad enough here that I'd want to oppose. Pine</b><sup style="color:#01796F;">✉ 23:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
