•  Neutral The snake is very good captured. But I cannot to acquire a taste for the black background. In the past it was one of the most reasons for opposes. You can correct me if I'm wrong. --Hockei (talk) 16:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

• I don't know that much about the past "black" discussion, but the photographer explained about the lighting of these photos on another nom. This isn't black cutout, it's just dark. You can even see a bit of green in some places. It's not that hard to get an almost black background even in a natural environment. Even a totally inexperienced "wildlife" photographer as myself managed to get very dark backgrounds in some photos taken on an extremely sunny day and no flash, simply because the flowers grew out from under some bushes. (Ex.1 & Ex.2). --cart-Talk 21:52, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

@W.carter: Sorry for my late answer. In the past it was very often a reason for oppose also concerning my pictures. (I don't fancy for looking for examples.) Maybe before your time in FP? In this picture here I cannot find any structure of plants for example or what ever in the background. It looks like erased. --Hockei (talk) 07:18, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

@Hockei: The background is there if you turn up the brightness. --Alandmanson (talk) 07:32, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
