Comment -- This is a marvelous picture Böhringer, congratulations! I will support it one way or the other but maybe it could be improved by: (i) removing the blown parts of the leaves, e.g. by cloning; (2) cropping a bit on the sides. What I like more is the pattern of the scales on the wings, which is very detailed and sharp. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:13, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it's the Nth "butterfly mating" FP candidate, and the lighting is a tad harsh. Also we don't really see the mating process (making it suitable for wide audience for sure). But very nice setting and superb composition to me. - Benh (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question Are they actually mating? - Benh (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ja, ich habe noch andere Bilder davon. --Böhringer (talk) 14:30, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ -- Highly competitive with the other image available. More resolution and wings more detailed here; but the heads of both butterflies are more visible in the other. The shadows (?) seem bluish to me. I didn't understand that part and the leaf bent; is it bent by you to take the photo? (I know butterflies are very friendly during mating; and I have a shot with them on my finger. ) -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support The picture has the disadvantages of being shot at noon, with harsh light on the leaf and harsh shadows on the butterflies' heads. We cannot tell these creatures when to mate... but perhaps a fill flash would have reduced the shadows on the heads. Gidip (talk) 10:44, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ Nice shot, IMO too much space left on the right, there is a strange spot just below the right guy (image editing error? I added a note) and the left guy is not really sharp, Poco a poco (talk) 11:01, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
