•  Info Sea Anemone is in process of consuming a jellyfish. Sea Anemones look as plants, but they are animals and they are predators.

•  Oppose Confusing composition, low quality and above all no identification. Lycaon 05:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
• It is not a composition. It is a real life drama and a rare shot. Those are not preserved specimens, but real underwater amazing wildlife in their natural habitat. -- Mbz1 05:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
  • I takes skill to make real life pictures look like they are staged ;-) Lycaon 05:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Technically, the picture is not underwater, but breaking the surface, which aids in the confusing composition. It is a rare shot, because this is not the anemone's standard food, but a chance catch and so rather an anecdotical picture. Lycaon 05:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose The composition is unclear (and all photographs involve composition). The quality is not high enough. Some of the elements are blurred and there are overexposed spectral highlights. This may be educational (if identified), but it's not of high enough quality for a FP. -- Ram-Man 17:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, I knew that the picture will be opposed. The idea of nominating the picture was not to make it a featured picture, but to have more people to look at it and maybe learn something new. I'm a strong believer that Wikipedia should be l a learning tool and not a photo contest of high quality pictures. The thing is that some subjects are easier to see and to photograph than others, but does it mean that we should future dozens of sharp butterflies at sharp flowers pictures and no single and unique anemone picture?--Mbz1 18:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
•  Oppose as above, too confusing and unclear composition. --Digon3 17:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • There's only one anemone (a green one) and one jellyfish (a blue one) Is it really so confusing?-- Mbz1 19:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1

What makes it unclear is all the rocks and shells on the side. --Digon3 20:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

It is not just any rocks and shells. These rocks and shells were placed there by the anemone itself to camouflage its adhesive foot. Looks like the anemone did its job very well. If everybody is confused, it means that all predators and prey will be confused too and the anemone will do just fine. --21:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1

•  Oppose as above --Karelj 20:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Bergwolf 21:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
• I'm really sorry that me, the anemone and the jellyfish have confused everybody. Next time I'll make sure to tell an anemone and a jellyfish to take their fight in less confusing "composition".  Mbz1 14:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
