Original - The Australian blenny are small marine blennioid fish of the genus Ecsenius. They are reddish-brown with a white ventral side, and inhabit the shallow marine waters of the tropics. They are often found along the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea of Australia.

Reason: Great composition, good quality for an underwater shot, very pretty. Identified to species level with clear EV in the species article, and solid EV in a few others. Already featured on Commons. Caption modified from the article

Maybe it's just me, but it took me a while to actually locate the fish in this shot. As photographic composition I can see why you'd want to frame it as it is, but the picture puts just as much emphasis on the coral as on the fish, which lowers the EV a bit. --RDBury (talk) 13:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I can see the fish, it's one of those weird, tadpole-looking ones. Reminds me of the one McDonalds uses/d (not sure) for their fish sandwiches. --I'ḏ♥One 02:52, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, no, wait, I see it's double tail-fin now. --I'ḏ ♥One 20:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is exactly the quality I'd expect us to be reaching for underwater FP's. JFitch (talk) 09:52, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like this, but it should be cropped tighter (IMO). Greg L (talk) 19:17, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
