 * Support A respectable, though by no means exceptional (sharpness, sharpness, sharpness!), attempt to capture both the insect and the flower. On the whole, the combined effect--illustration of an action rather than two objects-- makes it a worthy image.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 01:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Sharpness works for me. Looking at the eye, it's clear there's very good pixel-per-pixel detail. The yellow flower makes for a good contrasting background. Thegreenj 03:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support I agree with Here to Help, it's not perfect but is a fine image as a whole. Capital photographer (talk) 04:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. The bright yellow color makes the image stand out.  Malinaccier (talk) 13:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Very sharp, excellent quality. Spencer  T♦C 19:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Are the wings as sharp as they could be? -- Sharkface T/C 19:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Under the given circumstances in a dark swamp and the 2-3x magnification i would say yes. The picture displays a area of 5mm --Richard Bartz (talk) 20:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Which is easy to forget when you're looking at it blown up close to 100x!--HereToHelp (talk to me) 20:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Might also be of use in Halteres. Matt Deres (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Well done. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 22:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support It's not really needed but, hey, it makes me look like a nice guy. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
