Green turtle
It is different. She swims towards me. none of the three images that are FP now have the same view. They all were taken from the side. This view is rather rare. --Mbz1 (talk) 02:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC). It is also showing underneeth, as no other image does.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In my encounters with sea turtles, I have seen their undersides a few times, though usually on my way up (ie decompression stop). Then again, one generally looks at the sea floor. In any case, the image is good and not identical to other FPs, this is why I did not oppose. Aesthetically, I find the others to be better (notably this one), this is why I didn't support. If it was a different species ... --ianaré (talk) 04:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The image you refer to is only 2 mega pixels. No matter how many green turtle images are featured, there never will be as many as the images of same bees, dragonflies and so on, but anyway...--Mbz1 (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hold on a thief! Fixed.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment could you please add more info about the picture ? When was the picture taken (you probably wrote it somewhere, but I can't find it in the |date= field of the information template) ? Where ? Would it be possible to use Commons:Geotagging or how far from the coast ? or how shallow is the water ? The link to w:Kona is a disambiguation page. The picture should be inserted in a location category. Any idea whether this is a baby turtle or a mom or a dad ? I can't find a dictionary or a glossary explaining what "manual cloning" means en:Cloning (disambiguation) has no photography related link. Where has the camera EXIF gone ? Or was that an argentic photo ? Teofilo (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I added some of the info you requested including Commons:Geotagging. I do not know the sex of the turtle, but they was not a baby. EXIF data was gone in the process of cloning. Original image is lost, that's why I cannot add the info. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is it OK if I add "English: Green turtle, Chelonia mydas in Keauhou bay, w:Kona District, Hawaii" in the description ? This is because your geotagging provides me with [this map. But only you can tell if the geotagging was so precise that the location is exactly that bay rather than some other nearby area. Anyway, my vote is  Support.
