 * support Nice photo. I really like the detail on the wings.Mweston85
 * Comment. These two excelent pictures of dragonflies are already featured [[Image:Common_blue_damselfly02.jpg|40px]] [[Image:Aust_blue_dragonfly02.jpg|40px]]. The nominated picture is nice, but has several blown out areas, and the eyes look odd. --Dschwen 21:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose It's a nice sharp picture, but the blown out highlights spoil it for me. And I find the background distracting. ~ Veledan • Talk 14:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
