•  Oppose - I want to like this, as I do like pictures of animals in their natural environments and have no problem with them blending into the background to the extent they actually do, as seen with the naked eye (or its extension with a telephoto lens), but too much of the snake is blurry for me to support this picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:02, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not sharp enough on the head for FP for me. Charles (talk) 09:41, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I think, the head is sharp. The photographer made everything right, maybe the background is a little busy, typical for terrarian.--Hubertl 16:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Ikan; I also feel the vegetation at the back is too distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment It would be useful to indicate where this was taken. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

As written in the file page, it was taken in Pylos (Peloponnese/Greece). I added relevant categories to the file and asked to the uploader if he can add a geolocation. Thanks, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 16:33, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I mean, was it taken in the wild, or is it a vivarium? Regards, Yann (talk) 18:36, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

The snake looks rather nervous and lively, and this is a greek snake so I will say there is reasonable chance it is taken in the wild, but I can't answer instead of @Benny Trapp: Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 20:37, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
