Support I think the higher difficulty of underwater shots pushes this over. Do wish Charles wasn't on holiday: Working with older photography isn't great for identifying what a modern camera should be capable of. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 14:04, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Question All the other images of this fish appear yellow or orange-yellow to me. Jay Cubby 02:00, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support now -- I do still think this could be a wee bit less rosy, but the fish is now well within the coloration variation I see on Google Images. (Side note: If you, dear FP voter, still see the image at full size or its thumbnail to be pink, clear your browser cache). Jay Cubby 03:41, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose because of the red overall color of the entire image. Checked all images on common, only this, and another by the same author are red. Also, the gravel background here is untypically red. Sometimes underwater photographers use a reddish filter to counteract the blueness of water - I don't know if that is the case here, though. --Janke | Talk 09:57, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It doesn't seem as if this fish is this colour Diego. Happy to change vote if I am wrong. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:44, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping, Charlesjsharp. I uploaded a new version with less violet tones, looks better indeed. FYI too, Janke --Poc o² 20:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; but it still looks pretty red... Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
