Neutral Technically a good picture but I would like to see the butterflies in a different angle, showing their full wings. --Alipho 18:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be rather difficult (that is, almost impossible) since the male's wings are almost perpendicular to the female's wings! See this image from an angle showing the female's wings more clearly at the expense of the male's wings and fuzzy backside. This image has a good balance of both. -- Ram-Man 18:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose too tight cropping: part of the antennae of ♀ are missing. -- Lycaon 06:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Info I've added another picture that doesn't crop as close and is taken from a different angle, as an alternative.

Support - I prefer this composition, though the background is a bit distracting (but that pinky mass could be edited). I didn't know the butterflies read the Kamasutra... - Alvesgaspar 15:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Removing that pink block is outside my photoshopping skills. Someone else with more skill would have to do it. -- Ram-Man 12:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
