Comment It is now on Green Tree Python. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A lot of the python is out of focus. Especially the head...it's big enough that I can overlook that. --vaeiou 21:08, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I feel really bad opposing this, because it is a nice picture from far away. The major problem would be its pretty out of focus.. the biggest problem I have with it though is that it appears to be in a zoo or some kind of artificial habitat? The natural habitat would be more fitting for an encyclopedia article.
Oppose. Unfortunately the focus isn't great - the python's head is well out of focus and it appears to have been shot through glass in a zoo as there seems to be diffraction. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 04:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If it were sitting in a clearly visible box or curled around an iron bar or something I could see why that would be a problem, but it's on a relatively natural looking branch in an otherwise all-black environment. The python's surrounds aren't conspicuously artificial, and don't really detract from the image, IMO. —DO'Neil 04:36, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with vaeiou. enochlau (talk) 06:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A nice picture, but unfortunately the out of focus head is too big a problem to ignore. --Fir0002 00:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Looks OK from a distance, but definitely not as sharp as it could be. Camerafiend 02:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
