Carpenter ant

 * Reason:Yet another renom. Good quality and EV, showing an interesting behaviour. Could be added to other articles as well. Countering bias against ant images. Previous Nom

 * Support as nominator --Muhammad (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: The "interesting behaviour" is not discussed, and this isn't even used as a lead image- I'm not certain about the EV here. J Milburn (talk) 22:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * For me, an image speaks a 1000 words and so the image has greater value since it shows something not explained in the text. I don't know much about ants' digestive or respiratory systems or I would add something to the articles. --Muhammad (talk) 07:36, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - It shouldn´t have shallow DoF. The leg of the front of the image is blurry as well as the antenas. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 00:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You've been looking at too many focus stacks :) It's probably impossible to photograph an ant at anything smaller than f/11 without significant diffraction softening. They're just too small. So yes, he could get more depth of field, but he would rapidly lose sharpness. I imagine it's already down-sampled due to some diffraction softening at f/11. At f/13 it would probably have to be down-sampled to 1000px or less (to keep the same sharpness), thus barely meeting the resolution requirement. There really is a huge different between photographing a 10mm bug and a 4mm bug. We can't use the same standards for both. Kaldari (talk) 21:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Tanks Kaldari. Couldn't have put it better myself --Muhammad (talk) 03:59, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I laughted a lot about this. That´s right, an ant is a very small object. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 00:11, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support edit 1 - Better cropped. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 14:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per Kaldari. Focus stacked images can't become the minimum standard. There are regularly cases where it isn't possible. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Not centered properly. Consider removing the rightmost eighth or so of the shot so the ant is dead center. That eighth ads little to the shot. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 05:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't center intentionally but if you're willing to support a centered one, then I will put up an edit later today --Muhammad (talk) 07:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit 1 uploaded --Muhammad (talk) 10:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 *  Conditional Support for Edit Yeah, it is better cropped, however I am worried about the EV. The lead shot for carpenter ant could be switched out for yours, upping the EV. Not so for the shot in Formicinae, which I think is a better pic and is already an FP. If you can get this ant in as the lead for carpenter ant I'll support that edit.

 * Replaced my older image with this one as the lead in Carpenter ant --Muhammad (talk) 00:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Support. Does a good job of illustrating the animal and its behaviour. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Good detail and subject isolation. No idea why it failed to get a single vote previously. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  09:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
