Broad-headed Sharpshooter (Oncometopia orbona) found at Shelby Park in Nashville, Tennessee.
 Comment I just now saw that the image has a size of 1200x1600 pixels (not 1224x1632 pixels), but excellent quality--Miguel Bugallo 01:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Perhaps the question for this reviewers is not the resolution, it's the crop: The insect is big and to me can be QI and FP with a little bit of megapixels less. But I understand you and I don't know what to do--Miguel Bugallo 23:05, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry--Miguel Bugallo 23:06, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. It is not a catastrophe. Of, course as nominator, you always have the option to withdraw the nomination if you feel the nomination was a mistake...--Slaunger (talk) 23:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Question Am I the only one having problems with just seeing the 1200x1600 full resolution image? When I click the full resolution link of the image in the file page, I get directed to a image with even lower resolution than the the file page preview? --Slaunger (talk) 23:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment In my case, I calculated the megapixels as given by Miguel: 1200x1600 equals 1.92 Mpx. I thought 4% less was still acceptable. --Paolo Costa (talk) 00:38, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Usually, the interpretation of the resolution guideline is considered a rather hard wall, to quote
      Resolution – Images (with the exception of animations, videos, and SVGs) of lower resolution than 2 million pixels (pixels, not bytes) are typically rejected unless there are 'strong mitigating reasons'. Note that a 1600 × 1200 image has 1.92 Mpx, just less than the 2 million level. A 1920 × 1080 image, commonly known as Full HD, has 2.07 Mpx, just more than the 2 million level.
      In my interpretation that implies that unless there are 'strong mitigating reasons' (and I do not think there are in this case, pretty ordinary macro circumstances) it is a no go. --Slaunger (talk) 11:43, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      No problem then, I removed my support vote, rules are rules. --Paolo Costa (talk) 12:04, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose size. --99of9 (talk) 11:25, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Sorry. Low resolution--Miguel Bugallo 17:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
