•  Oppose The cut of the specimens are well done, however, Highlights are overexposed losing details, excesive DoF (f/25), poor quality details for a D850 (45.7 megapixels downsized to 35 megapixels), need white balance --Photographer 01:48, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment the cut on the female dorsal could be better, with some grey background showing. Personally, while these may have educational/scientific value, I don't find them appealing photographically. There is over-exposure as User:The Photographer notes, but there's nothing 3D about the image at all. The light has obliterated any perception of form. I also don't really like when images are crudely cut out on black. There's always something lost and the effect never looks real compared to when a black background is achieved in the setup. The Photographer, I don't think this is downsized. The female dorsal photo is cropped vertically, to produce a wider aspect than 3:2, and there's only 160px cropped of the width (which is about 2%). Perhaps the other photos were taken at the same position/view, and cropped more so. -- Colin (talk) 10:44, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
• These images are normative images that must describe the subject without embellishment. A D3 effect should be avoided. The colors must be the closest to a living subject that the subjects living for that overexposure is part of the process. There is no reduction, and the framing is strictly related to sexual dimorphism, length of the abdomen and wing morphology. There are many other constraints related to this type of photography; the most difficult thing is the need to be alone and to limit one's movement; a displacement of air can move an antenna or move a wing and the stacking series is wrong it is necessary to start again. Thank you all for your votes and comments and especially Olivier LPB for this appointment and George Chernilevsky who taught me COMMMONS! --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 12:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
