- Comment -- Not sure yet of what my vote will be... But this is close to the best we can get using the flash, with all the specular reflections and flat lighting. I would have given more space around the critter though. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:12, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose DOF to low for me. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Very atypical for a C. aurata. The animal looks dead and it is even as if it is missing some legs. Not really a wowing composition. Lycaon (talk) 18:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose - ditto to Lycaon, at least two of its legs on the near side are broken, missing their outer segments - MPF (talk) 20:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Oppose -- How could I miss that? A shame.-- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)- Neutral - After the explanations. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:46, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Everything said. • Richard • [®] • 23:10, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- Question Freunde, warum übernehmt Ihr ungeprüft Aussagen von anderen und geht in falsche Opposition? Ich habe eine große Hochachtung vor Euch, vor Euerm Sachverstand und vor Eurer Integrität, aber nun verfallt Ihr dem Herdentrieb und eröffnet friendly fire. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 14:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Info The cetonia aurata is alive and had been running one hour on the leaf und flew away with the loud sound: „brrrrrr...“. The two legs on the near side are not broken. These long feets (you name it „outer segments“) are inside of the legs like the tongue in the mouth. The cetonia aurata pulls the feets inside and push them out if it is needed. You see in my image: the cetonia aurata don’t need to push out the feets always. I took this image with sharpness on the legs and on the feet to show this and to get a high encyclopedic value. Please compare these images: File:Cetonia aurata take off composition 05172009.jpg, File:Rosenkäfer an Löwenzahn.jpg, File:Laitche-P066.jpg, File:Green beetle on bud.jpg, File:Cetonia aurata side.jpg, File:Cetonia aurata on Crataegus monogyna.jpg. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 14:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I didn't claim it was dead or missing legs, I merely stated that it gave that impression. Perception is very important for an FP. C. aurrata is especially beautiful when the epitomizing gold-green lustre of its elytra is visible. That would give it real encyclopaedic value. Lycaon (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
