Bee Wings
A sensational PD image of a bee, showing its wings in prominent focus. As good as or better than [[Media:Bumblebee closeup.jpg|Bumblebee closeup.jpg]] which is currently a featured picture.

 * Support. Perfect focus on wings. Nice composition and color. Background not distracting. Mgm|(talk) 12:18, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. While this picture is in focus (always a good thing), this is a nomination for featured picture. For a support, I would want to see the wings presented symmetrically on the bee's body. This is a fine shot to illustrate the article, but not quite enough, IMO, to merit FP. Denni &#9775; 01:17, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)
 * Support. I think the bee is better at a slight angle, actually. I daresay that this picture is the bee's knees. - RedWordSmith 01:36, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- The [[Media:Bumblebee closeup.jpg|Bumblebee closeup.jpg]] shot is far superior. The bee is in a better context (i.e. discrete from its background) and in better overall focus. Alight 12:37, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * You should vote on whether this one is an adequate FP, not whether another one is better. Mgm|(talk) 11:24, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will. I oppose this on the grounds that the bee is not discrete from its background and the overall focus is poor. Alight 02:33, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Janderk 10:43, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. It's way more clear than the dark bee photo with no contrast. It should replace it. We don't need 2 bee photos. --Menchi 20:58, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I don't like this cropping from the original. It makes it look like the bottom right corner has been torn off - Bevo 02:08, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. I like the backlighting that brings out the beautiful detail of the wings. Pollinator 06:06, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
