Comment The image was placed in the article minutes before this nomination, and the article is already quite illustrated. I request that you discuss it with Mike Searson (talk · contribs), primary author of the article. Jujutacular ^talk 21:26, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the original, but I am going to nominate an alt (better quality, more EV). Nergaal (talk) 01:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As long as you're adding an alternate, let me upload a better one I found. --AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 04:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support the original. It really captures the character of the animal and perfectly illustrates the range of colors found in the species.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 07:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose first three by AmericanXplorer13 for their current inclusion. Even overlooking the fact that none of these show the whole animal, commons:Category:Iguana iguana just contains so many images that are as good or better - File:PortraitOfAnIguana.jpg has a rather divine composition for a head shot, and File:St Thomas Marriott Iguana 4.jpg is a promising study for a whole-body image. Makes me believe that a much better image is possible. Weak oppose Nergaal's proposed candidate for the same reason, although recognising its high technical value - very sharp, good resolution, DoF perhaps a bit more suitable to an encyclopaedic use, but it works well particularly at larger sizes. As for the AmericanXplorer13 images, they might be useful in an article on the reptilian cornea, because the focus plane targets it, but then again, we may have higher resolution images focusing on the cornea specifically.

Why is the alt by Nergaal taking up so much space? --Muhammad(talk) 13:35, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
