Australian Painted Lady edit

Original - An Australian Painted Lady, Vanessa kershawi, feeding from a flowering shrub

Reason: A highly enc shot of this beautiful butterfly, showing not only it's colouration but also has the bonus of showing it's proboscis whilst feeding. High technical quality compliments this perfectly IMO

~~Weak Oppose~~Support - lovely shot but the focusing is very distracting. some of the rhs wing is in focus, some out and the same with the antennae. For me the DOF is compressed too tightly - Peripitus (Talk) 02:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC). After an instructive few hours with a good DLSR+field of butterflies I'm changing my opinion - On reflection the focussing is not a major issue - Peripitus (Talk) 00:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Image was shot at f/13 - as large DOF as possible without degrading quality. Furthermore f/22 wouldn't have got everything in focus. Please bear this in mind ( and I hope the closer treats comments as such with appropriate weight) --Fir0002 04:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - the unfocused parts do not diminish the value of the image.--Svetovid (talk) 10:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support DOF control on this is fabulous, theres little or no deterioration until the second wing which is really unimportant. -Fcb981^{(talk:contribs)} 13:50, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Lighting, composition, colours, encyclopaedic value; this one seems to have all bases covered. --jjron (talk) 08:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
