- Question Can you upload the original if this is downsized. If it's cropped, then it needs a different crop to get rid of the wire on the right hand side (and show more tail?) Charles (talk) 11:04, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, for now at least, given Charles' points. I really would like to see some more tail, and the wire is hardly an attractive compositional element. Clearly QI, but I'm not sure it compares to some of Charles' own images in this category, to name just one contributor producing work of this kind. Cmao20 (talk) 16:19, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment You might also wonder if the animal was placed on the wire. Otherwise, why would it be in this odd position? Charles (talk) 16:24, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
You mean in the sense that the image may have been made through somewhat unethical practices? Certainly possible and perhaps another reason to be cautious of this one, although IMO we should give the creator the benefit of the doubt.Cmao20 (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose No, it's not unethical to handle reptiles, but it's a weird position to find one and not appropriate for FP. Charles (talk) 17:36, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Didn't know that. I guess I was imagining the animal might hurt itself on the sharp bits of the wire. You know much more about this kind of photography, so I have struck that part of my comment. Cmao20 (talk) 17:41, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- "I really would like to see some more tail" You dirty old man! Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support The composition is fine for me. A razor-sharp 6 MP is also adequate for small animals. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:58, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

- Comment The right side can be cropped, I find this part with the leaf distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:49, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose That position that the lizard is in is quite odd IMO. Never have I seen a lizard in that position. --Boothsift 05:05, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
Opposeas above and my earlier comments. Charles (talk) 09:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Charles you voted twice -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support Tomer T (talk) 20:43, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose looks like lizard has been placed there, unnatural.--BevinKacon (talk) 21:26, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Apart from the question of how the lizard got into that position, it's an overly busy composition, especially given that there's such a bright subject on an equally bright background. Daniel Case (talk) 03:55, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose The photo looks a bit strange to me.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose The position of lizard is strange.--Vulphere 08:48, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
