Info IMO one of the most beautiful butterfly pictures I have seen on Commons in terms of colour pallette and composition. There is one tiny focus stack error on the butterfly's leg but personally doesn't bother me. created by Sven Damerow - uploaded by Sven Damerow - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 17:41, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Comment These early morning images are great, but this one has lots of over-exposed areas, like on the edge of the wings, above the head and the top right background. Is this a focus stack? - looks like it when you look at the inconsistent webs and the echo errors in the background (above left of head).Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- It is certainly focus-stacked, and I will add the focus stack template to the image page. I don't see much sign that the note you've left is anything but a genuine part of the bokeh, but I could be wrong Cmao20 (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- As for overexposure, yes, this is probably true, but I kind of like it as it is - the early morning sun reflecting off things does make them appear bright white, and I'm fine with that. I agree other photos of this butterfly are probably better from an identification/encyclopedia illustration viewpoint, but I just find this one beautiful. Cmao20 (talk) 21:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- The pattern of the bokeh has been duplicated, a typical stacking error. I think the problems could be sorted if Sven Damerow can be contacted to restack. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:04, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I guess he is not around. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:04, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support It has very interesting details, even the drops on the butterfly can be counted. IMO despite the stacking errors this image deserves a star. --IamMM (talk) 08:02, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Cmao20’s and IamMM’s convincing reasoning. --Aristeas (talk) 10:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Image quality, very bad contrast. -- Karelj (talk) 15:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support I don't mind the weak contrast; maybe it could be strengthened a bit on the insect, but given the generally light colors in this image there's not too much you could do. But for me the expertly executed bokeh makes it almost magical, and I'm not sure that works with any more contrast. Daniel Case (talk) 17:27, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Addendum: I do think the crop would help. Daniel Case (talk) 17:28, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- SupportThe colors are fabulous Dinkum (talk) 18:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support I do wonder if some have forgotten this is a 43MP live in-the-field insect photo and sharp at 100%. We've recently featured some blurry pictures at a small fraction of that resolution and not nearly as pretty colours and light. -- Colin (talk) 20:37, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support This shot has is shortcomings but still one could loose himself in the abundance of detail and atmosphere and is well worth to be featured IMHO --Virtual-Pano (talk) 21:36, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
