Meliponula ferruginea

 * Reason:Good sharpness, lighting, DOF and EV, appearing in two articles as the lead image. The size is a bit smaller than what I usually upload because the image had to be taken form a distance and cropped. It is however still above the requirement. The pictures is not downsampled. The bee is also well identified which is quite rare of African insects.

 * Support. Good DOF considering the angle. Unfortunate background contrast, but enough that we can still see the bee clearly. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose I think this is warrants a reshoot - nice subject but lack of overall sharpness (presumably because this is a 1:1 crop) and borderline pixel count. Also noisy background. --Fir0002 04:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I see what Fir0002 means, but personally don't find it to be an issue in this instance.  Mae din \talk 17:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
