  • You found my hidden noms. I wasn't sure I'd submit this picture because it's my favorite picture (looks splendid printed at 11x14 and iridescent (real) on metallic paper) and I didn't want to suffer through opposition because it's "cliche" or some other typical response. The Monarch Butterfly article is one of the best illustrated articles, complete with an image lifecycle, that the english wikipedia has, IMO. -- Ram-Man 14:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support - Beacuse of the excellent colours and composition and despite the unfortunate crop - Alvesgaspar 12:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support nice relaxed composition, good colors -- MichaD 14:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support I would see the eyes a bit more --Makro Freak 15:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice. --Digon3 16:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Looks splendid on my monitor too. It's a pity that cropped petal. --LucaG 17:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Great! The cropped petal is not important, as the butterfly is the essential subject -- MJJR 19:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I'm always fooled by the blotchiness of the wing patterns with Monarchs. The only thing that almost really made me vote neutral was the cut petal. For the rest the picture is very good. -- Lycaon 05:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support 1 or 2. both wonderfully bright. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 06:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Version #2

 Oppose Maybe its not blurred anymore but it look very unnatural, like cutted off --Makro Freak 15:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose I see no VALUE in the image. We have way too many similar images and much better ones by the way. --Mbz1 05:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
