Support While checking out our insect head collection, I came across this. I think it's a fabulous close-up with great detail. The author is in the scientific illustration business, so I hope this might encourage him to return and share more of his work. -- 99of9 (talk) 00:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Darn thing almost looks cute. Intriguing image. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁gala xies 04:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yup, I thought it was a dog at first too. Great detail! Daniel Case (talk) 04:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Wow! Yann (talk) 09:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'd like to have such a nice portrait of myself... --Schnobby (talk) 13:34, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Eeeks! Looks a little scary. I usually dislike insects, but nice head shot. —stay (sic)! 16:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As much as I love the image, I cannot support as the quality is very poor here, especially near the edges. There is chromatic aberration, noise, and blurring. Doesn't really compare to this, this, this, or this. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per ~~THFSP~~ THFSW, plus extreme tight cropping. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 08:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per THFSW and Carschten. ■ MMXX ^talk 11:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's THFSW --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry ;-) --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 11:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Merops (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The image is very good and illustrative, but I cannot support images with visibile technical errors, in this case from, I presume, overly strong selective denoising. --Quartl (talk) 08:09, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Karelj (talk) 20:18, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It should be noted on the photo technique "Focus stacking". There are too many errors. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:45, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's simply stunning, that mitigates for the minor technical issues. H005 21:22, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
