•  Comment It is oversharpened. --Hockei (talk) 14:22, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose The oversharpening is not only visible on the tongue but around the whole head. Strong! I don't see the slightest reason to tolerate it considering the great composition. This fault has nothing to do with the composition but it is a homemade mistake and can be corrected very easily. I'm convinced that is sharp enough nevertheless. Maybe you don't matter about my rejection but it won't cares me. I'll support this picture if this is corrected. --Hockei (talk) 12:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Support - Of course I respect Hockei's eye and opinion, but my reaction is that the head is sharp and the form is great. So if it's not perfect, OK, but it's an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Question I wonder, looking at the reflection in the eye, Rushenb, if this is some sort of set-up shot? Charles (talk) 16:03, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment Charles: would you care to explain closer, what do you mean? --Ivar (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• This is a photo in the jungle of a Thai National Park, but there are made-made items (possibly tables?) in the reflection - so I was curious. Is this a laboratory-type set-up? I visit hundreds of forests and I never ever see snakes out in the open like Rushenb manages (very jealous). What's the secret? Are the snakes captured then released for the photo? Do you know why the images are all credited to Thai National Parks. 17:45, 1 January 2020 (UTC) Charles (talk) 17:46, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• Do you really see tables on the eye reflection? I see same leafs, where the snake lies. --Ivar (talk) 18:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• If you cannot see non-leaf straight lines, Ivar, download at full res. and have a closer look. Charles (talk) 20:31, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• Charles, not long ago Rushenb left an explanation about the credit at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Boiga jaspidea, Jasper cat snake.jpg. Thai National Parks is his website and he chose to credit it on his photos just like you do with your website (example). --Cart (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

• OK. I hadn't realised that Thai National Parks is a website run by a tour company. Charles (talk)
