Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Poplar hawk-moth

Original - The Poplar Hawk-moth (Laothoe populi), is a caterpillar of the family Sphingidae, a common species found within the UK.

Reason: After reviewing the criteria, I believe this image is of feature standard. It's of a good quality and high resolution. I understand there are a lot of images of caterpillars dotted around the project but I believe this image is a very ravishing depiction of such a creature.

Oppose Subject cut off at rear end, leaf covering it in part. Grainy, compression artifacts... --Janke | Talk 19:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Overexposed and unsharp. Subject cut off. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I see no problem with the covering leaf, but cut at rear end is unfortunate. And I share the sharpness concerns. Hús ö nd 00:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose - I like this photo and I think it's great, but I'm concerned about the fact that the head is out of focus and the the upper part of the body is overexposed.- Wadester16 (talk) 02:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose good picture but the sharpness doesn't meet the very high bar that has been set for this kind of image on Wikipedia. Guest9999 (talk) 17:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
