•  Support Do you used your twin-flash here? I think the use of lower ISO is very beneficial here. Jee 11:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

• I took about ten photos under natural light at ISO400, then since I had the time I switched ISO100 and camera-mounted flash. The higher DoF worked really well this time, though as you know, it's not my usual technique. Charles (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Not bad. --Mile (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Neutral I'm afraid I'm finding that right-hand greyish diagonal stem in the background to be rather distracting. -- Colin (talk) 13:11, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Support I can't believe you shot the whole thing...perfectly in focus! Is there a harmless spray that causes temporary paralysis in fluttery flying critters that I'm not aware of?? Atsme 📞 14:53, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose mainly per Colin, Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Arthropods/Lepidoptera#Family : Nymphalidae (Brush-footed butterflies), your image has a background quite disturbing compared to the others. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 18:26, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:21, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
