 * Reason:High quality image of an interesting hoverfly
 * Articles this image appears in:Ceriana (fly), Mimicry
 * Creator:Fir0002


 * Support as nominator --Fir0002 00:39, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is there someone who might supply a species ID?  Not essential but would be good.  |→ Spaully τ 18:18, 28 June 2009 (GMT)
 * Unfortunately that's as good as I can get from a photo --Fir0002 23:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I only found one (dodgily) attributed photo in looking for evidence of Ceriana ornata, which doesn't exist according to the WP article, so I don't know which is right.  |→ Spaully τ 23:49, 28 June 2009 (GMT)
 * Suport. Illustrative and good photo.  |→ Spaully τ 23:49, 28 June 2009 (GMT)
 * Support - Very unusual, high EV, excellent focus and hard to take. - Damërung  ...ÏìíÏ..._ Ξ_         .   --  02:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Nice one, I wish the wings were slow enough so that they wouldn't be blurred!  ceran  thor 13:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed to weak per the gleam evident on the abdomen and thorax.  ceran  thor 21:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * lol, may I ask what made you deem that "gleam" was undesirable? Don't you think real life objects exhibit reflective properties? :P --Fir0002 08:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support I share the same sentiment about the wings, but I wouldn't hold that against the nomination. An excellent photo.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 17:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Acceptable that the wings may be out of focus but IMO the abdomen and thorax should be well focused for a FP. --Muhammad (talk) 18:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the abdomen and thorax are in focus... aren't they? Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. The angle (slightly from behind) combined with the foreground out-of-focus wing make this a somewhat uncomfortable composition, in my view.--ragesoss (talk) 19:48, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Excellent EV in Mimicry makes up for any technical weaknesses. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:54, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Not that keen on the angle, but the lighting and sharpness is good. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support A little small, but otherwise good. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
