- Reason
- The Nembrotha cristata is a rare species of nudibranch and is an interesting, unique subject matter to be used as the featured picture. This is a good quality picture, is attractive and pulls one into it, and seems to meet most of the criteria.

- The head (is that the head? Could be its bum as far as I know; I'd sit facing that way if I was a tiny mermaid, so let's hope it is the head or tiny mermaid me is going to look pretty silly) is out of focus; I imagine there are technical challenges with getting everything in focus underwater, so I'll wait to see what the techy experts think.

- Support I had a little think and decided so what if the head is a little bit out of focus? It's still a better view than you'd get of it if you were in the water with it yourself (unless you were a tiny mermaid of course, in which case you'd get a good view of it when you were saddling it up in the courtyard of your coral castle; don't worry, I've had this mermaid dreamworld all mapped out since the age of four.)

- Haha it is its head Belle. I do feel however that the picture is good enough and the encyclopedic value is what matters and that is there. There are very few pictures out there of this creature so I think that it is one of the best pictures out there. Tortle (talk) 19:03, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

- Comment – The head is fuzzy. Sca (talk) 14:46, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Only if you zoom in a lot, at featured picture size, it would look fine and there almost no pictures out there that are of better quality. Tortle (talk) 21:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - It's a nice picture, but we already have a featured picture of this exact species and it doesn't have a blurry head. I'm not sure how much more EV we get from a side view, if the only thing that is different is tzhe head (which is blurry). Mattximus (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment – The nominated pic obviously is much more instructive than the one cited by Mattximus, but the detail isn't quite there. Sca (talk) 23:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well its over the 1500px criteria by a good amount and it really isnt too blurry unless you zoom in by a bit. It has more ev than the other since it blends in. I dont think theres a problem with having two featured pictures of the same subject as ive seen that already in the list/gallery of FPs. Thanks Tortle (talk) 01:33, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- An interesting creature visually, but alas the tail is blurry too. I admit to knowing zilch about underwater photography, but as an observer I would like to see more sharpness. Sca (talk) 15:46, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
