- Weak support. Looking again, it's not great. J Milburn (talk) 16:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It isn’t cropped tight enough and if it were, it would be even more apparent that the depth of field didn’t catch the near-side of the insect. Greg L (talk) 02:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support The subject looks decently sharp (the image might look nicer with a little bit of saturation) --I'ḏ ♥One 22:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose - I agree with Greg L that a tighter crop would do this subject justice, but I think that would be sufficient to turn it around. Tim Pierce (talk) 02:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
