Limnophora sp.

 * Reason:Good quality, DOF and EV. Lighting is also good considering it was taken under a canopy of trees a few minutes before a rainfall.
 * Articles this image appears in:Muscidae, Coenosiinae, Limnophoriini, Limnophora

 * Weak Support. The compression seems a bit high for this image though. The bokeh in the background seems a bit posterised - jpeg compression artifacts? Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not sure so I have uploaded another version made from the original without any compression. --Muhammad (talk) 09:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is much improved, although now there is some noise in the background that could be removed. :-) Do you have good noise reduction software (Neat Image, Noise Ninja, etc), or would you like me to have a go at it? Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 09:21, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I use PS for NR. I would be grateful if you could upload an edit. Uploading over Edit 1 should be fine --Muhammad (talk) 11:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The software I mentioned above is far better than PS for noise reduction. It might be worth looking into. I'll have a go at the edit tonight. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the edit. Noise Ninja seems good, I have downloaded the trial --Muhammad (talk) 13:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Diliff's edit fixes the noise but there doesn't seem to be much detail - it looks somewhat "smudgy". It also seems to have an inconsistent focus plane - was this a focus stack? --Fir0002 05:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, not a stack. --Muhammad (talk) 13:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose original and edit I like it but it's just not so good. --Richard Bartz (talk) 22:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
