Original - Close-up of the head of the centipede Scutigera coleoptrata.

Reason: This is a very striking image of a centipede, and has great EV for both the species article (illustrating this widespread and common species) and the whole class Myriapoda (illustrating the anatomy of the head region). The image is detailed and visually appealing. If successful, this would be the first myriapod FP.
Articles in which this image appears: Scutigera coleoptrata, Myriapoda

Oppose -- Nice at thumbnail but revealing the lack of quality in full size: chromatic aberration, flash reflections, difraction softness. I don't see the need for such a close shooting distace, making the depth-of-field near to zero. Using a very small aperture only brings aditional unsharpness due to difraction. The flash lighting is not the best either. Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I have to agree with Alvesgaspar here (Oppose), it's a cool looking shot, but not so encyclopedic - just looking at it, you have no idea that it's actually a centipede... Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Maybe you haven't met enough centipedes face-to-face? However, apart from the stylistic DOF, I agree with Alvesgaspar on the other quality markers. --99of9 (talk) 00:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I agree with Stemonitis, and what about the rest of the body? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 21:18, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
