Opposefor now. Fails criterion 5 which requires geocoding "unless it would not be appropriate to do so". Unfortunately, there is no exception for images that fail only because location information is not available. Here, though, the specimen was taken from the Belgian Continental Shelf, which should be enough to give at least an approximate location. Happy to support when that is added. --MichaelMaggs16:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Geolocation is not applicable for an organism which was caught 'somwhere' at sea and photographed years later in the lab. Lycaon18:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agreed. My previous comment was wrong as this is a studio shot, and the whole basis of geocoding is to record the camera rather than the subject position. So it is not needed. --MichaelMaggs06:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment An excellent example of a Valued Image micrograph of an animal, in my opinion. It satisfies or exceeds all criteria, except it needs to be added to a species gallery page. Walter Siegmund(talk)14:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
