Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Salticidae sp. AF 2.jpg

Clynotis severus

 * Reason:A very useful addition to a number of articles. In some cases it has replaced another image. This one is better because it shows all eight eyes and is considerably more detailed. I am quite surprised that the subject sat still long enough for a stack or two. I would have liked the softbox a bit lower to get some catch lights in the front eyes. Was not physically possible however (front of lens was about an inch from the spider).

 * Support Very good EV and wow --Muhammad (talk) 01:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per Muhammad.  upstate NYer  03:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Best EV in the 'Simple eyes in arthropods' article, where DOF isn't as important to illustrate the subject. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 09:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Though of course we should all oppose because its legs are cut off. Stevage 14:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed I'm rethinking my vote...  upstate NYer  23:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support, weakness per Stevage. I'm really not a giant fan of these hyper-closeup bug shots that lose big parts of the critter to blur/frame. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In 3/3 article cases this is illustrating eyes specifically. File:Salticidae sp. AF.jpg is the whole thing and may be nominated at a later date (different articles). Noodle snacks (talk) 06:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Plus "per Stevage" makes me kind of laugh, considering he was being sarcastic.  upstate NYer  03:16, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Support as a good illustration of the creature's eyes. Also, thanks for the nightmares. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:29, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. Stacking artifacts and over-sharpened, but otherwise a good illustration of spider eyes. Kaldari (talk) 20:06, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose although the eye part is fantastic, the blurry legs are visually distracting IMO. &mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 04:51, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
