It is different. She swims towards me. none of the three images that are FP now have the same view. They all were taken from the side. This view is rather rare. --Mbz1 (talk) 02:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC). It is also showing underneeth, as no other image does.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
In my encounters with sea turtles, I have seen their undersides a few times, though usually on my way up (ie decompression stop). Then again, one generally looks at the sea floor. In any case, the image is good and not identical to other FPs, this is why I did not oppose. Aesthetically, I find the others to be better (notably this one), this is why I didn't support. If it was a different species ... --ianaré (talk) 04:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
The image you refer to is only 2 mega pixels. No matter how many green turtle images are featured, there never will be as many as the images of same bees, dragonflies and so on, but anyway...--Mbz1 (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose -- Not nearly as good as the FP mentioned above. I don't like the angle and there are sharpness issues. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support If a million bug and flower pictures can be FP, this can definitely be. It is a good, solid photograph with encyclopaedic value. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
    • You forgot the metal samples...--Jebulon (talk) 00:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - same species (same animal?) already got this FP. And this one. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 06:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment -- Did anyone notice the clumsy cloning job near the bottom right corner (please see note)? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Hold on a thief! Fixed.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment - sorry, found another rather obvious clone patch! (see pic notes) - MPF (talk) 20:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose sorry but that clone job is really a no-go. I have no problem, if we already have a FP of that species. --AngMoKio (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Fixed--Mbz1 (talk) 06:20, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment could you please add more info about the picture ? When was the picture taken (you probably wrote it somewhere, but I can't find it in the |date= field of the information template) ? Where ? Would it be possible to use Commons:Geotagging or how far from the coast ? or how shallow is the water ? The link to w:Kona is a disambiguation page. The picture should be inserted in a location category. Any idea whether this is a baby turtle or a mom or a dad ? I can't find a dictionary or a glossary explaining what "manual cloning" means en:Cloning (disambiguation) has no photography related link. Where has the camera EXIF gone ? Or was that an argentic photo ? Teofilo (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I added some of the info you requested including Commons:Geotagging. I do not know the sex of the turtle, but they was not a baby. EXIF data was gone in the process of cloning. Original image is lost, that's why I cannot add the info. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Is it OK if I add "English: Green turtle, Chelonia mydas in Keauhou bay, w:Kona District, Hawaii" in the description ? This is because your geotagging provides me with [this map. But only you can tell if the geotagging was so precise that the location is exactly that bay rather than some other nearby area. Anyway, my vote is Symbol support vote.svg Support.

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose sorry but what is this with cloning and lost files?--Sylvy d'Acoz (talk) 21:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support There are a lot of FP, and this one is very very good. If there is more than one picture of the same topic there can be a period of time between the dates of presentation in the main page. Kooritza (talk) 22:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Confirmed results:
Result: 10 support, 5 oppose, 1 neutral → featured. /George Chernilevsky talk 05:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
