Support - It's a very nice photo, very clear. The only thing is that the flat white surface gives no clues to the animal's size or habitat, so it's a bit staged-looking. But for certain purposes I guess it's all right. CorinneSD (talk) 00:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

^{Gecko's live in the houses too They also inhabit human dwellings due to the number of appropriate basking spots, and the level of insect activity which these dwellings attract. - they even climb on the walls and the real small ones on the ceiling. It is a portrait, like the monkey. Hafspajen (talk) 04:16, 28 November 2014 (UTC)}[reply]

Comment. I feel disappointed that I can't see the whole animal. For me, this kind of spoils it. 86.155.135.140 (talk) 12:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Whole animal or not, it is a beautiful image and worthy of featured picture status. KDS4444^Talk 06:47, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm wondering whether the original photographer managed to get a picture of the entire gecko that is equally as clear as this one. If that could be found, it would be a really wonderful picture. CorinneSD (talk) 16:50, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Little chances for capturing the whole animal in same quality as it requires more subject distance. J e e 06:38, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
