  • Support - It's a very nice photo, very clear. The only thing is that the flat white surface gives no clues to the animal's size or habitat, so it's a bit staged-looking. But for certain purposes I guess it's all right. CorinneSD ( talk) 00:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC) reply
Gecko's live in the houses too They also inhabit human dwellings due to the number of appropriate basking spots, and the level of insect activity which these dwellings attract. - they even climb on the walls and the real small ones on the ceiling. It is a portrait, like the monkey. Hafspajen ( talk) 04:16, 28 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I feel disappointed that I can't see the whole animal. For me, this kind of spoils it. 86.155.135.140 ( talk) 12:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support - Whole animal or not, it is a beautiful image and worthy of featured picture status. KDS4444 Talk 06:47, 29 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'm wondering whether the original photographer managed to get a picture of the entire gecko that is equally as clear as this one. If that could be found, it would be a really wonderful picture. CorinneSD ( talk) 16:50, 29 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support Little chances for capturing the whole animal in same quality as it requires more subject distance. J e e 06:38, 30 November 2014 (UTC) reply
