Support Is it Superman? Is it a bird? No! It's ~~Bicycle Repairman~~ a moth. Jokes aside. Spectacular. Kleuske (talk) 14:58, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Nice picture, strange animal. But it seems quite noisy, maybe a denoising will help? Tomer T (talk) 15:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be nice. It is rather noisy, but i guess you can't take pictures like that using large(r) f-numbers and low(er) iso. This is about speed. To me, it's a pretty good trade-off. Kleuske (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Quite small (barely meets criteria) and noisy (considering the top notch hardware it was taken with...), with little details left on the subjects themselves. Selective NR on background would help. But a better NR on the whole pic can probably be achieved. I like the catch and framing, so I will definitely support if this is improved, which should be easy. - Benh (talk)
Oppose The blurred foreground flowers are distracting, plus noise, etc. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:54, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support very well executed photograph. I just wonder if higher ISO would have frozen the moth, but then again I love the motion blur on the wings and tail. The flowers appear a little too saturated. Yathin sk (talk) 09:59, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
