  • Oppose Unfortunately, DOF is all too shallow, that kills it for me... --Janke | Talk 18:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Question this image is invisible for me, as are occasional photos elsewhere on wikipedia. does anyone know why this happens? Mangostar (talk) 18:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Info The new version has been uploaded. Laitche (talk) 22:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support I can appreciate Janke's DOF issues, but to me that forward focus gives the subject a remarkable clarity. Great enc value. SingCal 01:57, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose - Beautiful composition but a poor exposure solution leading to insufficent DOF. Also, there is obvious posterization of the background -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. DOF is shallow, but I could possibly overlook that if all else was in place. Unfortunately composition also seems to be against it for mine - dark white/light brown butterflies on a tan coloured background is all fairly un-eyecatching, but the final killer is that dark patch taking out the entire top left corner (possibly a well out of focus small branch across the field of view near the lens). FWIW I've tried to improve the caption in the article. --jjron (talk) 11:27, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
