• Oppose. A little dark, and the composition is rather uninspiring; dull background, close crop, cut off tail. J Milburn (talk) 12:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment I have uploaded another file, this is a different picture, filled some light and re-cropped.
    • Thank you for the alt, but the tail is still cut off... gazhiley 14:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
      • The alt is a little stronger, but it's still dark and rather small. I was going to compare it to some of our other reptile FPs, but, IMHO, the bar is not all that high there. J Milburn (talk) 12:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose As per J Milburn, but mainly cut off tail, no sense of size and darkness... gazhiley 12:16, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
• Reluctant oppose. I prefer the larger lizard view for seeing the creature, but agree with the issue on cut off tail and unclear size (versus what it sits on, a wall?). when full size, the larger image does show a beautiful detail of the animal's scales...so it does have some potential. And I love reptile articles. One general guidance on reptile photos I would give you is the background is crucial (make sure does not match color...and I guess in this case, is confusing as an object.) Really nice pic though...and go reptiles.TCO (talk) 20:19, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment Thanks TCO, I'll try and keep that in mind the next time. You see I don't really flaunt a very good equipment and hence it becomes difficult to get a close up of the Reptile without scaring it first. I Think it is high time I buy some good lenses.
