  • Support -- Rajan Excellent photo. User identified as sockpuppet of nominator.
  • Comment Unless I'm very much mistaken, is this below size requirements? I have double checked and it does actually seem large enough, so I withdraw that comment... Also please note the above support from Rajan was added within 90 mins of the nom being created, and was this user's first edit on wiki... gazhiley 12:59, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Seems blurred, multiple focus issues... gazhiley 13:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Minimal encyclopedic value in the article in which it appears. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:53, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • ENCYCLOPEDIC VALUE REGARDING THIS PHOTOGRAPH HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE ARTICLE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritiks (talk • contribs)
      • I have deleted the newly added text. It was an unattributed copyvio from this travel site. Totally inappropriate. --jjron (talk) 14:07, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think it has some encyclopedic value, and maybe it will have more encyclopedic value if it was also included in the article for the Andaman Sea. The image quality seems to be just a tad too poor though, despite the good camera and lens used. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:02, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Quality is not bad for underwater photography. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:27, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose because of the motion blur. The seaweed and whatnot shows well though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:59, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support good photo of the coral reef. Shilpa User identified as sockpuppet of nominator.
    • Another account created in the last two days, with only one edit other than this nom and their userpage. --jjron (talk) 11:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I looked at other coral images at Commons and found them to be a little more professionally taken, with less haloing. I'm also distracted constantly by the really white area (maybe blown out, but I see some blue in there). Also, I'm not keen on the only reason this is being nom'd is for "good resolution", because then pretty much every high resolution image should be nom'd. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 05:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
