•  Info A curious Caribbean reef squid (Sepioteuthis sepioidea) on Bari Reef (Bonaire, BES Islands), hovering in front of the camera flashing its colors -- Atsme☯^Consult 11:18, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Question Why tif format? in the backgorund there are visible compression artefacts. -- -donald- (talk) 13:21, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
  • LZW is lossless compression - a good bokeh effect underwater (not an easy task) with the refraction of background light (while avoiding backscatter) may be what you're calling compression artifacts. Atsme😊^Consult 13:40, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support  Oppose Nice shoot and excellent quality, however, category and description are incompletes,example: species name is missing. I will change my vote if its fixed. Btw, the background could be improved and chromatic blur noise too (Removing chromatic aberration and maybe a selective gaussian blur for the background). Its in natural enviroment? Caribbean could be a location too general. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 16:26, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
  • The Photographer, how about less aggressive approach requesting to the volunteer this data, in opposition of this aggressive way to demand that? -- RTA 16:41, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Comments are constructive criticism in order to improve the photographer quality, in this case Atsme. Please, you could make comments about this nomination and not about voters comments.--The Photographer (talk) 16:49, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
  • The Photographer, I added species name and gave more details on location, tried to Wikilink to Caribbean reef squid article on EnWiki but it red linked. Squid was shot at 30 ft. depth in its natural environment on the reef. Hope I added the information where it was supposed to be added. Thank you. Atsme😊^Consult 17:54, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
    • • Hi Atsme, I added more information, please, could you add the location?. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 18:33, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
        • Ok, done (Category). Also, I blurred the bokeh and am uploading the alternate version. Not sure what to do after it's uploaded.
