 * Comment Stalking more sexing insects, eh? I think some of the users at Commons were reminiscing a certain high-pitched, cinematic quote: "Heeelllppp meeee!" 718smiley.png ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 22:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * His camera is probably like "Oh my, not again!". If not, maybe like "YES!". :-)  Zoo Fari  02:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Given the size I'd probably consider supporting per Shoemaker. However I am a little concerned about the white balance, which seems to have a very yellow tint to it. What is the story there? Noodle snacks (talk) 08:57, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Uploaded edit 1 with colors adjusted. If there is pref for this version then I should upload this edit over the original. --Muhammad (talk) 17:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * New edit looks a bit cold to me, though that's just a gut feeling - could be just because of its juxtaposition to the original. Is there somewhere in between you can go? --jjron (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Uploaded Edit 2. Better? --Muhammad (talk) 21:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks close enough to me. Second question though. What is with the "pools" of focus around the legs? Is this a focus stack? Noodle snacks (talk) 01:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The original image had good DOF but a small part of the legs was OOF and since I had another version with the legs slightly sharper, I cloned them over. --Muhammad (talk) 17:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2 The cloning isn't really ethically distinct from a focus stack or panorama. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:51, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2 per above. --jjron (talk) 13:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Edit 2 colours much improved in the edit.  Mae din \talk 17:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
