•  Oppose A QI, yes, but this one just doesn't stand out for me like your other recent underwater pics have. Daniel Case (talk) 17:44, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

  Daniel Case: comparing this image with this one of a sea urchin is like comparing this one of an elephant in the park with the biggest concentration of them worlwide with this one of a leopard devoring the killing. Sea urchins are literally everywhere underwater, day and night and move very slow, morays are rare, are mostly active in the night and are tipically hiding in holes (so that you can see the head if you're lucky). Maybe I should have provided more information about the challenges of this image, which were many. Poco a poco (talk) 08:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

  Fair comment. I don't take photos underwater, but I don't recall ever being in as good a position with a moray in 150+ dives. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:53, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Support per Poco and Charles. Since this is a difficult species to capture, it's very clear and the quality is acceptable, so I think it's good enough for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 15:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
•  Support For the difficulty of capturing this shot --StellarHalo (talk) 19:04, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Daniel. Even difficult subjects and underwater shots need some kind of good composition for FP. As I have experienced. --Cart (talk) 21:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination To be honest I don't get it, probably one of my most difficult shots ever Poco a poco (talk) 12:27, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
