Oppose Mantis is not sharp... bad framing (bug is too far left... out of focus foreground flowers on the right)... does not meet the current standard for insect FPs. – flamurai 18:02, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question This is WOW, wow, Wow! But flowers on the right are distracting. Could you crop'em out? ...and maybe increase contrast between the mantis and background, this being much less important? Crapload 18:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your question and for the kind words. I tried to correct the problems, but I am not good with a photo shop. If somebody willing to give it a try with the original image, please let me know and I'll upload the original one. Thank you.--Mbz1 19:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like it a lot- it has good angles, but still looks natural. Photographystudent 01:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral It's rather dark and only a tiny bit of the mantis (the closest leg) is in focus. --Calibas 02:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unfortunate lack of focus. Lycaon 06:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
