• Weak oppose Wing texture is a bit soft, not a fan of the framing, and the stick (or whatever it is) on the left is distracting. Sasata (talk) 23:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
• Support per nom. JKadavoor Jee 09:27, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
• Support Decent amount of detail, and as a very small butterfly (less than an inch wide) this is fairly macro. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:08, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
• Weak support - The composition is a bit odd, and it's small. Fairly encyclopedic. ceranthor 17:17, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
  • I could put up a different crop if that would help with the composition. The resolution though can't be increased as it's difficult with macros where a lot of cropping out is involved. --Muhammad(talk) 19:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
  • IS the crop better? --Muhammad(talk) 01:59, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
    • With the crop it's too small of a resolution to meet the FP criteria! I understand that the resolution can't be increased, but I will support the original to break the tie, since I lack strong objections. ceranthor 19:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
• Support : Both are nice but I like the first one more Mydreamsparrow (talk) 05:41, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
• Note to closer I have asked Ceranthor for feedback on the edit --Muhammad(talk) 15:00, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
