Image:Diptera1.jpg, not featured

Info And now a poster of Diptera (two-winged insects or "true-flies"), an immense order of insects with more than 100,000 known species! These are much more difficult to photograph than flowers because they are smaller, with finer details (usually hairy) and less cooperative. The sixteen species here represented are a very small sample and reflect my own taste and available photos of good quality.

Question Don't you think 16 individual high resolution pictures of the flies would be better? Muhammad Mahdi Karim 18:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Info -- The purpose is to make a printable poster where all species are shown together. Everyone of these pictures has a high resolution version -- Alvesgaspar 18:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment and Question and Support I dont mind supporting, but just a question, are all these other images featured already?
  - Info -- Only one of them is FP. That was on purpose because I wanted to have a balanced set of pictures (and species and families) rather than a collection of the best -- Alvesgaspar 20:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since the files are all available separately, it could be helpful to link to them in the image page. Fg2 21:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done -- Alvesgaspar 23:06, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Thanks for both posters Fg2 08:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support This should print as a very nice poster. Fg2 21:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Some of the images have too shallow DOF on main subject. --Dori - Talk 23:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As my vote for Wasps and Bees, plus for making the Diptera order a bit more complete i miss a example for Nematocera - (Mosquito) and Tabanidae- (Gadfly). I would prefer unobtrusive numbers with a more detailed caption on the bottom or as a description for articles --Richard Bartz 14:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question This looks good. ~~But if it is not a PEXESO like poster it should be in the frame.~~ There is also a lot of background information missing. Could you offer the same image without legend, please? I would use it on v.--Juan de Vojníkov 00:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Question - What (lot of) background information is missing? -- Alvesgaspar 10:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Info I mean, species should be listed in summary template and probably also source files. Can I do it instead of you?--Juan de Vojníkov 13:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support no Question. Noy 16:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Idea, quality and execution are good, but choice (or rather availability) of species is unfortunate. Lycaon 22:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

result: 4 support, 2 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured. Mywood 21:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
