Oppose The scene depicted is quite fascinating, but from a technical standpoint, this image could be a lot better. It is not nearly sharp enough, it is impossible to tell what the shark has in its mouth, and actually it is not very clear what the shark is even doing here. Mainly though, the subpar overall quality of the image is most bothersome. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 07:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm at a loss as to why so many of your photos come out with an almost black ocean. I suspect you've got some kind of contrast setting way too high --Fir0002 09:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you all for votes! The image is a digital picture of my old film picture. Of course lots of quality is lost because of this. Yet IMO the the image is quite unique to maybe look at it like as it is some kind of historic image and overlook some quality issues. It is not an aquarium shot. --Mbz1 (talk) 12:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean you took a photo of the print? I was puzzled why the image has EXIF data from a Canon dSLR. Would it be better to run the print through a scanner, if you could find one? Fletcher (talk) 02:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I did the same with many of my old prints. I have no scanner. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose My 4-year old son loved it, but alas, not FP quality. Sasata (talk) 07:17, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for letting me know about your son opinion!--Mbz1 (talk) 00:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for technical reasons as outlined in previous opposes. Sorry; very cool though. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 06:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to be sorry about. It was interesting that after spending hours in the cage, I took the best shots, when I got out, but as I said the images are digital pictures of my old (good quality) prints. Thank you all for votes and for comments!--Mbz1 (talk) 14:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
