Clear photo of an octopus
I don't think this photo is clear enough - it doesn't look like an octopus. I would replace it, but I don't know how!86.148.102.131 (talk)


 * I've changed it to a different one.

 * The easiest way to replace a picture is to find a new one on Commons then edit the page here replacing the "File:old picture name" with "File:new picture name" of the one you have found on Commons. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 22:12, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * An improvement but still don't find that photo very clear. It's a bit camouflaged. I think children will be puzzled by it. Perhaps it's because we're used to a cartoony representation of an octopus, but in real life they don't pose for a nice clear photo! ...but maybe we can find a better photo -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 23:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Poking around a bit on Commons, I didn't see a lot of good choices; Commons has a lot of stuff but finding it can be quite difficult. Here's one moderately okay image I found.

 * Ooh yeah. Lots to choose from. I think the middle of the three has a good crisp definition to it (We can see the shape without background camouflage effects) What d'you think? -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 11:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Of the three, I do like that one best. The first is visually hard to parse, and the third is kind of, well, small.  I wish the second were more colorful, though at least it appears to have something phosphorescent going on.  I'm kind of ambivalent on whether the crispness is worth losing the color of the current choice.  I wouldn't object to trying it out on the page, though.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 11:54, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * OK I've swapped in the second one. Certainly an improvement. I tried editing the image to change the colour, but it looked a bit weird. ...and that's kind of cheating anyway :-) -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 16:52, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Now that it's in place, it looks pretty good. :-) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:46, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
