Oppose 1. Bad file name. Taxa name of the species shown is necessary at leat in the description. 2. Too noisy. 3. Unfortunate crop (too much space on the right, too little animal on the left). --Kreuzschnabel 11:09, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Done Thanks, nice review, however, change filename is some complex, I preffer wait after to this nomination end. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 17:59, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Busy background due to wide focal length. The intention may me to show its habitat; but it (the execution) seems very amateur to me. Jee 16:30, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- It would be more interesting than to reach a conclusion as that photography is amateur, using objective evidence, beyond the composition itself. Judging this composition as if it were a zoo without taking into account the conditions of access to inhabit an almost extinct expecie, it seems very amateurish. --The Photographer (talk) 17:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've a (language) difficulty to follow you. But I checked your previous FPs, including one I supported. It seems you are using wide angle for more DOF and then removing/blurring the background. I can see some missing parts in one picture and honestly I don't know how useful such edits in Wikimedia projects. Jee 07:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm not following u, please, could you explain what you mean with honestly I don't know how useful such edits in Wikimedia projects --The Photographer (talk) 08:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- My understanding is that Wikimedia projects prefer an "accurate" representation of the subject. That's why Commons:Image guidelines and en:Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria only encourages a very "limited" editing. The problem of selective blurring is that we lose many "accurate" information about the shape, colour, furs, etc. on the edges of a subject. I don't know how vital it is; that's why I said honestly I don't know. But FP should be the "best representation of the subject" in every aspects; so I personally don't support such edits. (I'm not talking about removing a distracting background element away from the subject.) Jee 08:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

- For "best representation of the subject" or "best in scope", I invite you to COM:VI. If you consider that these sections should change some things, I invite you to visit the discussion pages and propose the necessary changes, but please, do not mess this nomination with comments like honestly I don't know how useful such edits in Wikimedia projects that have nothing to do with this nomination. I'm really making a big effort to assume good faith. --The Photographer (talk) 10:43, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose We have two FP's of this species by you, both very similar views of the head of an iguana on this island. What makes this one superior to those? Do you want to delist? -- Colin (talk) 13:44, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Comment Maybe I'm a fan of iguanas. I know it's hard for you to see the differences, but each iguana has its own peculiarities and details in his head. For an iguana, maybe all humans have a similar head. --The Photographer (talk) 17:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Quite possible but if there are hundreds of slightly different iguana faces that does not force us to have hundreds of similar iguana FPs. --Kreuzschnabel 20:01, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- We have thousands of QI "trains in stations". :-) -- Colin (talk) 23:33, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. I do not think an iguana put a gun to your head to force us to select their head like FP, however, this is the view of everyone, for me this iguana is very special, since I was a kid was called the iguana boy not because of my love for iguanas, but nowadays I think are important to human survival because they promote biodiversity. It is a personal opinion, and I respect everyone's opinion, especially negative votes with objective arguments. --The Photographer (talk) 22:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
