•  Info Blue shark (Prionace glauca) being photographed by a fellow diver between the islands of Pico and Faial, Azores, Portugal. The blue shark is a species of en:requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, that inhabits deep waters (images taken though between 5 and 10 meter below water) averaging around 3.1 m (10 ft) and preferring cooler waters. They can live up to 20 years, can move very quickly and feed primarily on small fish and squid, although they can take larger prey. I like the composition of this picture very much and yes, I'm aware that the diver could be sharper. The diver gives a sense of the size of the shark, is captured taking a shot of the shark at that precise moment (giving a lot of dynamic to the image) and the fact that there a no bubbles makes the picture more balanced and smooth. Let's see what you think. All by me, Poco a poco (talk) 16:46, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I would support this but question about the saturation/contrast. Compare #07 and #09 taken seconds before and after, and others in this set. -- Colin (talk) 09:12, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

  Ok, thanks for your feedback, let me give it a try this evening --Poco a poco (talk) 10:48, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

   Support now thanks. -- Colin (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

   Comment Unfortunately Poco a poco Colin, the reworking has introduced posterization bottom left. 08:08, 29 September 2021 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesjsharp (talk • contribs)
