Reason: Good sharpness, lighting, DOF and EV, appearing in two articles as the lead image. The size is a bit smaller than what I usually upload because the image had to be taken form a distance and cropped. It is however still above the requirement. The pictures is not downsampled. The bee is also well identified which is quite rare of African insects.

Support. Good DOF considering the angle. Unfortunate background contrast, but enough that we can still see the bee clearly. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think this is warrants a reshoot - nice subject but lack of overall sharpness (presumably because this is a 1:1 crop) and borderline pixel count. Also noisy background. --Fir0002 04:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I see what Fir0002 means, but personally don't find it to be an issue in this instance. Maedin\^talk 17:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
