Comment - The thing that bugged me about this photo at QIC and prompted me to skip it and leave it to someone else to judge is that the background is not a uniform shade of black. Is there a good reason for the brighter shapes in it? The fish itself is very good, though minorly blown in one spot (I don't care much about that). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:35, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- The reason is because this background was natural. There was a fabric of dark color in the shadow behind this fish. I've fixed this part with a uniform background. Please Ikan tell if if that's better -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:02, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose I don't like the 100% artificial background. Charles (talk) 09:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- The difference is so slight with the original, of course I could adjust the darkness locally to keep it 100% natural, but honestly the difference would be symbolic only, not perceptible to the eye IMO. Same (and even less artificial) than this -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:06, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't vote on that one, but it seems fine for a scientific montage. Charles (talk) 10:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Many pictures of planets and a lot of FPs in the same category have artificial backgrounds -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:52, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- true. Charles (talk) 12:13, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose The technical quality is good, but I feel that the composition and subject seem a bit bland. --Pine✉ 07:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support - Yeah, this is good now. By the way, can you identify the fish? Even without a Latin name, the Lao name would be good to include in the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:06, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- It's a "Patak" (ປາຕາກ) in Lao. I will keep searching the name in English -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:58, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Neutral I love it with the natural background but uniform black looks like a studio shot which I'm not a fan of. --Trougnouf (talk) 01:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

- Saturn can get away with it ;) I'd have voted to promote it as well. The original image here had some vague shapes and colors suggesting a scene, imo pretty fish + some provoked imagination is much better than pretty fish + unnaturally uniform black which whispers "there is nothing else to see here" --Trougnouf (talk) 12:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I like it like that :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:07, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

- Neutral Masking could be better for an artificial background. There are blusish "Shadows" in some sections of the outline. --Llez (talk) 13:22, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Llez: could you add a note where you see blueish shadows ? I'd like to fix them -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:31, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support I love the fish, love the beam, love the lighting. I neither love nor hate any of the background options. --El Grafo (talk) 08:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
