Monarch Butterfly

 * Reason:This is one of the best pictures of this particular subject (and is the disputed taxobox image). It is highly detailed, has a pleasing, non-distracting background, and is high resolution.  It clearly shows it feeding with its proboscis and no body parts are obstructed by other objects.

 * Oppose Sorry, but that's nowhere in focus. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 16:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nowhere? The focus is dead-on, but the DoF could've been slightly higher (at the cost of center sharpness), but I needed the fast shutter speed. Compare the DoF to other FPs: 1 2 3 4 5.  For the sharp focus areas, this may be the sharpest, highest resolution butterfly FP we have. -- RM 17:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Neutral insufficient DOF but nice --Richard Bartz (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support, beautiful, crisp, everything a FP should be. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN   round of applause  23:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Only rear edge of wing slipping out of focus. I'm always impressed when people get the antennae right. Samsara (talk • contribs) 20:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
