Oppose Perfect for VIC but too poor technical quality for FP or QI. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I would love to know what it means. I thought the image is sharp enough and the larva is focused. -- Tiouraren (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - As a laboratory photo, it would surely been possible to arrange the lighting better? The background is unhelpful. I don't do lab shots, but I am surprised you would choose to use a flash. F18 give s good depth of field but affects quality; the definition is not so great for such a large caterpillar. Might a focus stack have been a solution?

Oppose I think I agree with Charles. It's amazing how much this caterpillar looks like a twig, so it's great to show it in the context of a plant, but the arrangement of the leaves in the background, including random-looking crops, is distracting and not a great composition, I find. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:26, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose The focus is very good but I do think the background is quite distracting Cmao20 (talk) 11:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Any chance to change the background to some dark color? ★ 14:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would oppose an artificially-changed background. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose No wow, poor technical quality. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:21, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
