Oppose The sharpness is not very high and small details on the legs, wings, antenna and the underbelly of the thorax were seemingly destroyed by denoising (ISO 1000 is likely too high for a EOS 50D) and/or a JPEG compression beyond a wise measure. I would have expected a higher perceived sharpness on such a downscaled image. Grand-Duc (talk) 14:55, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Comment just to clarify, the image has not been downscaled --Ken Billington (talk) 19:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, then your licensing template ("If you would like to use, license, or purchase a high resolution copy of this image...") misleaded me on that point, I thought that your camera makes 15-MPx-images. What kind of lens did you use? (I'm not aware of a lot for Canon EF having the used 400mm focal length) :-) Grand-Duc (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2011 (UTC) And to explain my opposing vote somewhat: I guess that I'm spoiled by the excellent fokus stacked images of insects made by user:Richard Bartz, taking them as a benchmark.
- Comment It's true that the images of Richard Bartz are outstanding but they are "macro" images. This image of the dragonfly was taken with a 400mm telephoto lens from a distance of approx 6 metre. Since the image was not full frame it was cropped but not downscaled. i.e. the size of the dragonfly in pixels is exactly the same as it when was photographed.
