Oppose DoF could be better, but I can omit this because it's a macro-photo, but it's low-res (2Mpix minimum) --Leafnode 05:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support true, resolution is not that bad, and shot is great --Leafnode 00:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Even if it's small sized it's a very good picture. DoF is small indeed, but it's at F32, so it could hardly be bigger. --Atoma 10:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Stunning although smallish --Thermos 18:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Info This image is a 100% crop and not a downscaled version of a larger photo. The fly head has a diameter of only 2.5 mm (0.1 inch). -- aka 11:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question What does it look like if you crop a little less? Ben Aveling 11:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Small, but this is exactly why we allow 'mitigating reasons'. --MichaelMaggs 14:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support 'mitigating reasons' for size --Digon3 14:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Sorry, I don't like the purple background and the picture looks oversaturated. Not enough mitigating reasons for me :) Alvesgaspar 14:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- The purple background is Cistus incanus, which happens to be that colour ;-) Lycaon 16:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
