Oppose The subject(also known as yellow-throat goana) is cut off, somewhat blurry, and has a significant portion of its leg out of focus. Also, there is some chromatic abberation in tree bark and out of focus areas of leg. It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm not a huge fan of the muddy background either. It is a very nice picture, though, and I do not disagree with your nomination, but I think that its detracting qualities are just a few too many. J Are you green? 15:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As above. Also, the background and tree are distracting to the central area of focus. --Asiir 12:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
