  •  Comment I was snorkeling by myself in Papua New Guinea. Suddenly I heard a strange sound, and in the next moment I found myself in huge school of jacks. I was not sure what was going on - maybe jacks were hunting, or maybe they were trying to get away from a bigger predator like a shark or barracuda. Whatever it was I suddenly did not feel comfortable in the water. I took few quick shots and swam away, and no, I was not bitten by any fish, not that time anyway. The picture was taken with 2 mega pixels camera (maybe not enough quality). On the other hand that Turtle was taken with the same camera and by same photographer and the image is currently FP. The composition could be confusing - there are too many of them, but for me it was rather amazing to see. I believe you all would agree with me that we do not have enough FP underwater pictures and now it is up to you to decide. I'll be happy with whatever you decide. For me the most important part was to see and to experience it, than to make the picture FP.--Mbz1 02:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
  •  Support Wow! I wonder though if it might look better if just a teensy bit of the top of the image was trimmed. The resolution is borderline, but given that underwater photography requires specialised equipment, I don't think we should be too strict on that count. Adam Cuerden 04:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose noisy, small -- Bjodr 09:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Small, but there are strong mitigating reasons for size. However, there is too much noise. --Digon3 talk 12:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Small can be ok, but it really is too noisy, and lacks overall sharpness. Too bad, some good underwater FP would have been nice. --Nattfodd 13:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Thank you for letting me to share with you my "Chaotic","noisy","distracting light" adventure at least for a while
