Poplar hawk-moth.jpg

 * Reason:After reviewing the criteria, I believe this image is of feature standard. It's of a good quality and high resolution. I understand there are a lot of images of caterpillars dotted around the project but I believe this image is a very ravishing depiction of such a creature.

 * Oppose Subject cut off at rear end, leaf covering it in part. Grainy, compression artifacts... --Janke | Talk 19:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Overexposed and unsharp. Subject cut off. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose I see no problem with the covering leaf, but cut at rear end is unfortunate. And I share the sharpness concerns. Hús  ö  nd  00:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - I like this photo and I think it's great, but I'm concerned about the fact that the head is out of focus and the the upper part of the body is overexposed.- Wadester16 (talk) 02:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose good picture but the sharpness doesn't meet the very high bar that has been set for this kind of image on Wikipedia. Guest9999 (talk) 17:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Cut off, unsharp. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 08:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
