Oppose Bottom of wing obscured. We have some amazing butterflies - the standard is so high that one flaw is enough to make me oppose. Nice picture though. --99of9 (talk) 13:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer to keep the camera inline with the cross-section of the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the subject while capturing a butterfly in closed wing posture. I can possibly include the bottom part of the wing in an inclined angle of view but think it is not beautiful due to a lot of reasons. So I’m on my knees with elbows on the ground in most of these shots; sometimes camera simply rests on the ground. :) Not arguing; just explaining why I prefer this angle of view.

Weak support Agree with 99of9, the standard is pretty high. Also I don't like the square framing. But still a good picture, I consider very valuable all pictures of identified animals which have good detail, light and sharpness. This is a good one, plus, it is in the wild.--Paolo Costa (talk) 18:30, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Paolo Costa makes a good case for this one and I don't mind the square framing. Saffron Blaze (talk) 20:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
