  • Support original - EV and quality are good. I like the original because the view shows more of the insect rather just from one direction (what we engineers like to call isometric versus plan view). Isometric typically offers a better overall viewing in my line o' work. ~ Wadester16 (talk) 06:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original. Good sharpness and DOF on this macro, and the exposure seems about right, showing the shiny wings without any major blown highlights. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 06:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Support Original They are reasonably sharp and so on but I don't however think the lighting is ideal. Due to the relatively large size of the subject (110-120mm wingspan) the light is pretty much on-axis and resultantly not particularly pleasing. The alternate in particular has that direct on axis flash look to it due to the glossy leaves. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:34, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
