•  Oppose - Tbc 18:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC) not that exceptional zoo shot, the shadow in the backgrounds bothers me

Not a zoo shot. This animal was photographed in the wild at Coulibistrie on Dominica, W.I. last month. They are not that easily approached as it was over 30°C in the shadow that day, and reptiles tend to be very active with warm weather. BTW, do they have this species—endemic to a few islands in the Caraibs—in Zoo's? — Lycaon 18:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Good that you point that out (although this species seems to be kept and bred in zoo's). It is nicely done and the resolution is very good but I'm sorry, it still looks like a zoo shot to me. Tbc 19:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

You are correct, three zoo's have them and the first captive breeding of I. delicatissima occurred on 20 May 1997, [1] -- Lycaon 22:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

•  Neutral. I like the "expression" on the head, but the rest of the picture has nothing really special CyrilB 20:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  •  Support on second though, the position of the body is also interesting, with the front and back claws visible. CyrilB 20:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Do you have a version with a better quality? On that one, jpeg artifacts are clearly visibles on full scale CyrilB 20:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
    • An unprocessed file can be found here. Lycaon 22:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
      • The work you did on this picture is good on the subject itself, but it added noise to the background. I'll try to do some masking tonight to keep the best of both CyrilB 11:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
