Oppose I don't like the focus on the wings. -- Mason Doering ^talk 20:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm also pretty sure this isn't a bird. -- Mason Doering ^talk 20:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Oops, sorry about that. Corrected the category. Kallidaimaniac
Oppose Although I can appreciated the difficulty of capturing an image of a dragonfly with a camera, since they're nearly impossible even to catch with a insect net, lol. It's just not sharp enough to warrant FP status IMO. It's also being used essentially in a gallery, which is against criteria. The article is over-illustrated for a stub, so adding this image isn't adding any value to the encyclopedia. An article that size would do fine with 2 images, one for male and one for female, and since the wings are not in focus, a VERY key diagnostic for ID in Odonata, then this is a worse EV than File:Trithemis_aurora_by_kadavoor.JPG which the wings are more in focus. — raeky t 11:14, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
