•  Support but I would really like an entomologist to identify this insect. The technique is very good. ♦ Pabix ℹ 12:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Support and I'm not an entomologist but I would say it is a flower-fly --Buchling 14:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

  thanks, it seems to be that. ♦ Pabix ℹ

•  Oppose bad naming, whats important in the pic, flowers or the flower-fly? Nothing special, I think. Darkone 15:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Neutral - I love it. But I think the purpose of this image is hard to understand. --Morio 17:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Support good composition and excellent quality --SehLax 18:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too much background. A crop of the original image would be better IMHO. It seems more of a wallpaper rather than a illustrative image. — Pixel8 21:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't have much of a macro lens, and this is quite a crop off the original as it is. It's not quite 1:1, but I think the gain in quality from downsampling is worth slightly more background. 1:1 wouldn't be much more zoomed in anyway. --fir0002 06:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

There are features pictures in 800x600, so I think a crop of this image would still have enough resolution for a good quality. --che 18:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Commons featured pictures don't have to be illustrative of anything in particular. This is not w:WP:FP. pfctdayelise 05:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose -- Urban 05:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose because of the composition; I'd probably vote for a better cropped version --che 01:04, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with che. --Neutrality 05:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment Added 1:1 crop of the original photo --fir0002 07:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

•  Support the cropped version. (I quite agree with Pfctdayelise. My reason for not voting for the original version wasn't lack of "illustrativeness", but rather the fact it didn't have a clear central subject, so I didn't like it from photographic point of view.) --che 00:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
•  Support 2nd version only pfctdayelise 06:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
