Review (criteria)	Comment - It looks like your competitor is File:Orthetrum chrysis - mating.jpg, which lacks geocoordinates but does identify a specific village in Kerala. Please comment on the comparison - are any of the colors seemingly off in the other photo? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply] Comment Both are valid candidates. The other one is a subadult male> The male's head is covered by the wing, the red front to the face cannot be seen. Both females are fully mature. I think the detail of the head and the way she grips the male abdomen are much clearer on mine (well I would say that, wouldn't I!). Charles (talk) 10:23, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply] Support - At file page size, I think the other photo looks more vivid, but I just looked at both at thumbnail size (I put them on my Wikivoyage user page to preview them), and at that size, which is the default size for use on Wikimedia pages, your photo has clearer contrast with the background, so I'm going with your file. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:15, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
