- Info I have also another photo of this butterfly (File:Anartia amathea 02 2014.jpg). But I think from compositional aspects the nominated one is better.

- Oppose a good photograph of a captive individual in poor condition (worn wings and missing parts of its wings) -- Des Callaghan (talk) 05:24, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Those problems of the butterfly can have EV if it's explained in the file description; it would be a good photograph of an ill animal. --Kadellar (talk) 09:38, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support Problems of malformation of lepidopteras wings, are not uncommon. I as curious, I've seen some samples in both urban and wild environments, especially moth. This photo is a good sample of this occurrence, as curiosity: rate changes in malformations can be used as indicators of environmental change. As an example: [Fukushima Radiation Gives Rise to Mutant Butterflies?] despite the wrong title. -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 16:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice and good, however the dark half-top background kill the WOW effect IMO. -- Christian Ferrer Talk / Images 20:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Christian. I am not sure if I really understood your argument. Could you mark the area on the photo and describe what's the problem with it and what I can do better in future? --Tuxyso (talk) 07:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- I mean the darkest parts of the both wings are just over the dark area of the background (half top of the image), and that don't help for to highlight the butterfly, that's even increase the contrast between the half bottom and the half top, it's the first thing I think when I look at the image : dark half top + clear half bottom = a bit unbalenced (IMO). In macro the backgrounds are very important for compositions, and it's very hard but necessary to think at what will be the background in the final result. This image is nice and well done IMO, but here we agree that we speak about outstanding images. I hope to have been a little more precise. :)-- Christian Ferrer Talk / Images 14:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
