- Oppose -- Very nice in thumbnail but not up to the existing high resolution FPs of butterflies. Please compare with this monarch -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Beautiful shot, it really is. Maybe the background wasn't the best but resolution is great. Anyways, I need a macro lens, that's definitely my next buy... but I'm still undecided about which one. --Paolo Costa (talk) 22:37, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- For Nikon, Tokina ATX-Pro 100 mm macro is an excellent choice if you don't want to spend a fortune. I use mine also for other purposes (eg panos), as the optical quality is very good. Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- I will check it out! Thanks! --Paolo Costa (talk) 00:56, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

- Oppose The subject is not well separated from the background. You should have been at f/5.6 rather than at f/16. With this lens it is possible to isolate the subject even more.
- Comment Jovian, you forgot to sign your vote. By the way, I picked a lower value on purpose, since I knew some would oppose if the flower wouldn't be on focus, but thanks! --Paolo Costa (talk) 16:37, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
