- Reason
- Very nice studio shot showing two aspects of the same species. Very eye-catching, good quality and very high EV. Already featured on Commons, and, interestingly, if promoted, this would become our first annelid FP.

- Weak support There's definitely not many photos of these, which translates into rarity, but I wish I had more understanding of what I'm looking at. How small and rare are they and is that why its teeth (I think) and aspect of the lighting seem to overblown? --I'ḏ♥One 20:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- This particular one is around 25mm, as I said in the image caption. As for rarity, I can't speak for this particular species, I'm afraid- it was picked up out of the sea in Belgium. As a "poke around and see what I can find" type, I have seen freshwater nymphs that do this, but I don't remember ever seeing saltwater worms that do it (and I've spent plenty of time on the beach), so I was genuinely interested to see this picture. I also thought the semi-transparency was brilliant. J Milburn (talk) 22:04, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support A fine illustration. The lighting is probably overblown in a few places simply because they're really shiny, as many soft-bodied creatures are. Note he does give the length - 28 millimetres, or just over 1 inch long. An excellent macro shot. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:29, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support Though a soft light source would be better. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:50, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Support Very good EV, although Noodle snacks is right about the light. WackyWace converse | contribs 18:57, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
