 * Note There are a couple of equally good images of this specimen, seen from other angles, on the file description page of this one. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:49, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The front left foot is sort of 'ghosted', because of a focus stacking error. See commons nom.  Jujutacular  T · C 19:58, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I could probably fix that by copying missing details from the other foot. Would that be considered inappropriate manipulation? Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the angle is too different. Hopefully the uploader still has the original files. Otherwise, it's an awesome photo. Kaldari (talk) 20:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Mild support The image has EV, but there's something technically (standard) that I don't like about it. Gut Monk (talk) 21:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The angle feels awkward, I think this image rotated 90 degrees clockwise is a better orientation but the DOF is not as deep. - Zephyris Talk 22:42, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I like that one too. I've put it up as an alt, and I Support alt. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Info Hello everybody! As Jujutacular already mentioned this is a focus stacking "test". It was my first try to stack a picture of a living animal and I didn`t take much care for composition. My whole interest was for taking the pics as fast as possible. During this I didn`t notice a little leaf that was between my lens and the weevil. So sadly even on every original file this critter has this ghostfoot-prosthesis. In fact, this is my first stacking try on a living thing I'm really happy with it but a FP?! But however, thanks a lot for nominating my pics (it is always a pleasure if somebody other than me likes my pics and think some of them could be a FP!) and also thanks to Papa Lima Whiskey for contacting me on commons. I hope I could answer some questions. Best regards Leviathan1983 (talk) 11:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
