Acraea horta

Original - Acraea horta, also know as the Garden Acraea

Looking for feedback on this image, particularly whether it is a good candidate for Featured Picture. I'm interested in critique of the artistic merit (encyclopedic value, composition, depth of field, sharpness and detail). Feedback on the technical quality (compression and sharpening artifacts, fringing etc.) also appreciated as I could attempt to fix these from the original.

• I like this, but sadly I don't think it would pass FPC, the depth of field is too shallow I think. I'm satisfied with the sharpness, but someone at FPC might say it's not high enough (notice particularly its rear right wing). I do like how you blurred the background and flower but kept the butterfly pretty sharp. You could try it, maybe it might pass. --I'ḏ♥One 06:29, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
  • In hindsight FPC has extremely high standards for insect photos. Having looked through a few FP's of insects I don't think this will make it :( What about VPC? Zunaid 08:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
    • Should be a cinch, and this seems to be the only image we have of the adult. Is it male or female? --I'ḏ♥One 10:06, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
      • I have no idea. Will nominate it VPC soon as I get a chance. Zunaid 16:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
