 * Comment – Nice example of protective coloration, I guess, but lack of contrast makes this image difficult to access visually. Sca (talk) 14:48, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 1 - Nice picture with good EV, though the right side is a bit tightly cropped. Comment to Sca, its actually behavioral exhibition of the subject, bit more contrast may destroy the EV IMO. -- DreamSparrow  Chat   16:13, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support edit 1 Imperfect, per Sca and DreamSparrow, but given the difficulties of underwater composition and the value of the demonstration of its camouflage, I'd say it's good. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 18:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 1, Oppose Original The edit by PJeganathan on this file is awful - the shadows are blown, the highlights are blown and there is an unnatural level of contrast. It's not encyclopaedic. This isn't the case with the original image uploaded by Ruchakarkarey. I would have reverted it if not for WP:FPC and COM:FP etc. I've uploaded a new edit with a much more minor adjustment of contrast relative to the original and the use of a camera shake reduction filter to improve the sharpness quite a bit.
