Original - The Boulder Brain Coral (Colpophyllia natans) is a species of coral distributed in the Gulf of Mexico and entire Caribbean region, including coastal regions of the South American mainland, where it occurs down to depths of 50 metres.
Reason
Another one that needs little introduction: a Commons FP already, I finally clobbered together an article for it, so it's fair game now. Note that the framing has already been discussed at Commons.
Weak Support The image is very nice and detailed especially around the bulk of the coral, but the photo is blurry around the edges (probably because of the water, I know you can't change that) and the photo does not have a great EV. --AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 23:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The colors do look a little bit fantastic, but never having observed the coral in person i would not know. The colors look a little too good to be true, but that might be due to lighting. Shroomydan (talk) 03:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I made only a small edit, let me know if you want something more radical - the colours are in agreement with other photographs of the species, e.g. [1] and [2]. The green really can be quite striking - [3] keeps its "nuclear" quality even after white balance correction, just as Purpy pupple said. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Approve of the more conservative editing. Excellent EV, perfect in the article. And who couldn't love boulder-sized brains? :) Maedin\talk07:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I would really support this, but all the google searches on this species does not suggest that the colors should be this bright. Is this image actually realistic? Nergaal (talk) 23:29, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've done a google image search for Colpophyllia natans and while yes, there is a lot of variation in the colour of individual colonies, there are several images showing a similar neon green in the valleys (about five so far, after a quick count). Not sure how you've been performing your search? Maedin\talk00:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
