  •  Oppose - sorry, but too much of the animal is out of focus - MPF (talk) 22:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It is a nocturnal species and hard to shoot when being active that's for sure. I don't understand why there is such little depth of field by f/25 although the animal is aprox 85mm in lenght which is quite "huge" in macro dimensions. Apart from that there is lot of sensordust on the image. Basically it got what it takes to make a good FP of this species but the shallow DOF is k.o. criteria here for me.   • Richard • [®] • 23:56, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question How comes that the sprout is cut off so well although the image description says that the picture was taken at the western dry deciduous forests ?   • Richard • [®] • 23:56, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The sprout is cut off because when we found the gecko it was 2m high on a branch so we lured it onto another stick. Unfortunately focus bracketing was not possible as this animal moved a lot. It was also admittedly too large to get everything in focus with a macro lens even with a low apeture.
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Poor quality, insufficient DOF (only the eyes are in focus). --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support.
