•  Support lovely critter with two passengers on its tail. Points for improvement -- the crop is pretty tight on the tail end. Plus back leg is rather blurry, but it's understandable. Renata3 (talk) 20:33, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Support The left crop is too tight, but still, excellent. Cmao20 (talk) 22:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Interesting to see the cooperation between animals, I never thought that some insects would use other animals as transportation --Wilfredor (talk) 17:57, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment Charles, would you have supported this one if someone else had uploaded it? There's not enough room on the left and I've seen scores of images getting rejected for much smaller flaws. You know I like and highly honor your work, so don't take this as an attack. I just know that people here are pretty harsh when judging each other's pictures and I'd like to remind all of us to be as kind and forgiving to others as they are to us. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Good points, Frank, all images have flaws, and so does this user. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 Support In the spirit of what I said above. I don't mind small flaws and I think this image is still fascinating enough to be featured. In particular, I like the way you've captured the interplay of the lizard with the water surface. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 17:56, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 Comment If I knew how I got the beautiful water patterns Frank I could have it as one of my TIPS, but I've no idea how to replicate it (I just used my normal skylight 1A filter). Anyone? Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
