Original - This variety of the Caribbean Condylactis gigantea has yellow tentacles with pink tips.

Edit 1 - More subtle background.

~~Weak Support~~ There is something about the composition that immediately draws my eye to the bright top right corner instead of the subject. Swimming up and right a bit would have given a dark, and less distracting background and perhaps shown more of the subject. I'd have kept this composition for EV if it gave some indication of the depth, but the crepuscular rays don't really do that. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:55, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1, seems to address the only concern that has come up. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 1 only works much better. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:22, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support original. A bit more background is better for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:48, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support original With less background it looks odd.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support original The background appears more natural as it lets more light into the scene. --AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 04:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More input on the edit, please. Which do we prefer? Makeemlighter (talk) 10:40, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like the light effect in the original, but the top left corner is distracting. I would say very weakly towards alt. Nergaal (talk) 18:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, both versions are great, but if I have to pick one, I'll choose the original version. --Murdockcrc (talk) 20:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC) Copied from my talk page. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
