•  Support Very nice thanks to the blue patches of sky reflection and the small waves. --Aristeas (talk) 09:13, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support The blue patches almost work too well: I found them so fascinating I totally forgot about the snake for a while. --El Grafo (talk) 09:31, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Great composition, featured special background -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:46, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per others - yes, an excellent composition. Snake might be a bit sharper, and is the head a little oversharpened? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:03, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Close. The head was overexposed to get the water and body right and had to be recovered in post-processing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support To be honest I wouldn't have probably supported it if it had been a more common animal or a one laying on a rock. The image is small and I see no sharpness anywhere. Too much AI again in the head for my tast, looking unreal. On the other side a difficult shot of a rare scene, that makes it FP to me Poco a poco (talk) 11:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support The blue patches make it. Daniel Case (talk) 22:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
