Original - Antennata Lionfish in Schönbrunn Zoo, Vienna, Austria.The Antennata Lionfish belongs to Pterois a genus of venomous, marine fish found mostly in the
Indo-Pacific. Scorpionfish is another common name of Pterois, as its spines are venomous. This venom is said to be painful, but the sting of a lionfish is not fatal for human beings. Both the mimicry and the venom are important defenses. When a predator identifies any Pterois in disguise with the habitat, the sting from its back will keep predators away for quite a long time.
Support - exceptional.--

Comment Good pic, but only appears in a gallery. Would the nominator rectify? Consider mentioning the intense pain upon contact with the spines instead of the less interesting anatomical bit.

I inserted it as the main image since it's the best in that article and the previous one wasn't very good.--

support, though slightly weakly very nice over all, but has some color fringing and mild oversharpening.

Support...of course. Amazing photo and lighting for that depth. The composition is better than most perfect-weather pics.

Support as I did on Commons. Great use of colour, contrast, composition etc.
