Comment it is not a hoverfly, but a solitary bee. Lycaon 11:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is my current desktop background and I love the framing and field of view. It looks plenty sharp on my monitor. I probably wouldn't support a crop. -- Ram-Man 05:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose sorry, but with the recent trend of high quality macro shots, this doesn't cut it. As it is, it doesn't really illustrate anything since the bee is too small, and the flower is cut off. --Fir0002 www 07:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Info It's a reasonable size, and you could do a crop and still sneak in above the 2Mpx limit. I think that would help. --MichaelMaggs 12:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Its a little bit too much tone in tone in my eyes. --Makro Freak 20:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose have to agree with the tone in tone argument, it's not really clear what the subject is. MichaD 17:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Here is a close-up. Alvesgaspar 13:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm sorry, but the lighter orange tips of the petals provide much needed depth perception and color variation. The crop just seems flat to me. If your goal is a closeup of a bee, there are much better images, like this FP. Any crop would have to include the upper right hand corner of the original, at least to add some variation (possibly not enough?). This image also has a more "centered" look. -- Ram-Man 14:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Its a little bit too much tone in tone in my eyes. --Makro Freak 20:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm supporting the first version. This one is a bit too cropped. --Atoma 10:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
