  • Well, it might look like it, but it's not a studio shot. The butterfly happened to be hanging at that wall and I happened to pass under it (admittedly, looking for butterflies) ;-). I climbed onto a bench and held my camera above my head to capture it that way. --Quartl (talk) 19:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

•  weak oppose - I don't like the background. I think a black or green one would be nicer to the eye. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 18:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Well, the background is neutral and I'm not going to color it. But I've uploaded a slightly brighter version in which the background is maybe less disturbing to File:Attacus atlas qtl1b.jpg. Would this version be acceptable to you? --Quartl (talk) 19:07, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
    • Actually, I would like the brighter background more. This greyish white / lavender wall makes the picture feel somewhat coldish. --Ximonic (talk) 19:49, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm sorry but the background is a boring, ugly shade of grey to me which clashes with most of the animal and only matches the same bland grey in it and the other one looks very similar. Furthermore if I hadn't read that it was still alive I would've thought it was mounted; looks like something from an insect collector's shelf. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 04:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
      • I do understand your concerns and the background is a bit bland, but that makes the beauty of the moth stand out even more ;-). Nevertheless, I replaced the image with the brighter version, which I also think is better. --Quartl (talk) 07:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
