Retract Support as nominator The comments are right, it is blurry. I didn't check the full size version. It is pretty though. I don't know how you close a nomination. Ariel. (talk) 01:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close too few pixels on subject, blurry, no article. Snowball's chance. de Bivort 13:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I was able to improve the image somewhat by sharpening and downsampling. However, while the original crop was

of sufficient size, the downsampling was rather necessary, and the image is now clearly too small imho. Samsara (talk • contribs) 21:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Doesn't appear in an article and thus fails criteria #5. Cacophony (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose First, nothing in the picture is in focus, not even the grasshopper. Second, it doesn't appear in any article. the crop and sharpen does not help either, because it is too far out of focus for a sharpen to help. Clegs (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
