Support Very nice --Schnobby (talk) 08:52, 24 December 2011 (UTC)- Support--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 05:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- Support Welcome back...--Jebulon (talk) 15:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your "welcome back" I am not back, I just was passing by, and now I have passed :-)--Mbz1 (talk) 22:40, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Oppose (weak) Reminds me of the last Richard Bartz's (long ago now). Nice idea, and I like the fact we see the flower in some of the droplets. But it's a bit soft (bee aside). And since the picture is not huge (barely meets requirements), not so many details in the end. I wish the EXIF were there as well. - Benh (talk) 22:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- This image has nothing to do with beautiful macros by Richard. This image is about the flower refraction in rain droplets, and the bee was just there by the way. It is not a macro of a bee, but it is one of the best images on Commons in this category, and it is something different. If promoted it probably would have got to finals of POTD. BTW commons have no "weak" or "strong" votes. They all count the same.
- I know there's no weighted votes over here. I simply wanted to show that I was close to support. And if the image really was about droplets, maybe the focus would have been more on the droplets themselves rather than on the bee, which is the sharpest part. There's only one oppose anyways, so maybe the withdrawal is a bit too hastened. And although you're one of the finest contributors over here (as your records show), be careful not to being too self confident... - Benh (talk) 23:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Benh, you are so funny :-) Between "support" and "oppose" there is "abstain" or simply not voting :-) Besides, if you were "close to support" you could have voted "weak support" that of course is much better than "weak oppose" :-) There 7 or 8 droplets with the flower seen.
- But to tell you the truth I took this image for myself. I uploaded it to English wiki, to use at my user page there, and at my personal web site. I was not going to transfer it to commons. Somebody else did, and, when I noticed it was transferred, I decided to nominate it only to check, if it really would get to the finals of POTY as I believed it would. Now with your "weak oppose" even, if it is promoted, it will be too late to get to this year POTY, and I do not care about the next year, because as I said I am not back. I was just passing by, and this has nothing to do with your "oppose".--Mbz1 (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination. The image is too good for this forum.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:33, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
