Neutral Sorry, but I don`t like the harsh lighting from the flash with the strong shadows and the busy backround. No oppose cause of the overall compostion of the pic which I really like. bg mathias K 09:27, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - My opinion is that the tight framing at top and right ruins the composition -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking at the picture I feel somehow that both the butterfly and the flower and inside a cage too small for them. Let the poor things breathe! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:04, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too many things going on in such a tight crop. The insect being alive is dubious; I would expect the butterfly on all legs and above the flower. Here it looks like it's a dead and heavy butterfly dug into the flower, and believe it or not I find it annoying. Bad choice of flower maybe... ZooFari 23:52, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral The butterfly and the flower which btw is amazing have great detail. Background is distracting and does no favor to the composition. - Keta (talk) 08:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, interesting subject and a strong composition. The background adds context. --Aqwis (talk) 10:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Where do I begin? I have at least four monarch butterfly featured pictures. Some pictures, like this one, are not featured pictures but are of high enough quality. They are not featured because we have a rule only to feature one picture of a singular subject and pose and content. This one is no where close to historical standards. It has a tight crop, was taken with a flash (really?!?! I have never had to use a flash with Monarchs and I've taken hundreds of photos.), is not very sharp, and does not really show the subject very well. The most valuable part of the picture (the head) only takes up a minor percentage of the photo. It does not add value or improve upon existing featured pictures. -- Ram-Man 11:32, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Impressive, but crop is less than ideal, and per Ram-Man. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - ditto to Ram-Man - MPF (talk) 09:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
