 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose Poor composition. It really doesn't illustrate anything - is it the flower or the insect? If the latter than it is far too small a part of the image, and the flower is isolated from thee background and very sharp giving the impression that it is the subject. I uploaded a crop for an idea of what I'd be thinking would be a decent shot at the insect - but it's too low res and unsharp to be considered as a nom. Maybe you can do a reshoot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fir0002 (talk • contribs) 10:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Respectfully disagree on the poor composition. This is a picture of the insect on a flower, i.e. both are part of the subject. That impression of yours only happens when viewing the image as a thumbnail, not at full resolution. - Alvesgaspar 11:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as there is no Insect on flower article this limits the usefulness of this image. For enc purposes it would be better to concentrate on either aspect. --Dschwen 12:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There really ought to be an article on Insect-plant interactions - they are such a definitive example of coevolution. Save the picture for when I start that article! Debivort 17:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have some other here, maybe you get some inspiration. Alvesgaspar 22:49, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose original. I unfortunately agree that the viewer may or may not understand what the subject of the image is supposed to be. └ Jared ┘┌ t ┐&ensp; 12:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Fir's crop is good, but it doesn't have the resolution of an FP, obviously. Reshooting seems a good idea. Samsara (talk • contribs) 13:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
