Support Another one of your well trained little buddies sitting on leaves of matching color and shape, keeping its antennae in the same position as the "chop sticks" in the background. Beautiful and great detail. I could live with said sticks toned down a bit though, they are stealing some of the show. --cart-Talk 13:41, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Why names in file name !? There is line "author" for that. Some quick reader will name it as Junonia iphita-Kadavoor butterfly. --Mile (talk) 16:37, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kadavoor is the place of record; not my name. :) J e e 16:57, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mild Oppose - I'm going to be a pain on this, because I feel strongly that you can do better: This butterfly is beautiful, but compared to the best work by you and people like Charles Sharp, I'm not overwhelmed with ~~either~~ the focus ~~or resolution~~. The composition is good, but my preference would be for you to take another photo that's greater than this one and nominate it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:44, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a widely distributed butterfly and I can try again though it is not very friendly to pose for me. I didn't understand the resolution part though. Here more than 17MP from my 24MP camera; I just cropped to make it center. I think I'm stretching out of my/my camera's limits. J e e 06:00, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I guess I really mean just the focus. If you could get that level of resolution a good deal clearer, I'd be really wowed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:04, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now I got it. Yes; the left wing tip is not sharp compared to the right as I got here. J e e 06:21, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Along those lines, yes. What I really want is for pretty much the entire butterfly to have crisp sharpness, within this quality of composition. It's a tall order, but you've done it before with other insects. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice detail, nice earth tones, and the light isn't as harsh as might first be thought. Daniel Case (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
