•  Neutral Good magnification, but very low DOF. -- JovanCormac 07:43, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
  • In a natural setting, it would be impossible to get a better DOF --Muhammad (talk) 11:16, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
    • Natural environment? Wow. To be honest, I had always assumed that macro photographers kill the bugs before shooting them at a magnification like this... -- JovanCormac 18:37, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
      • Usually, photographers either kill/freeze them or look for dead bugs to work with. This however was of a living, moving bee. --Muhammad (talk) 01:15, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

    • In my opinion this image can't keep up with other FPs such as File:Calliphora_sp_Portrait.jpg, File:Musca_domestica_Portrait.jpg or File:Aeshna_cyanea_-_head_close-up_(aka).jpg. --NEURO ^⇌ 19:46, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose per NEUROtiker. Also GFDL 1.2 is not an appropriate free license for a picture. Yann (talk) 00:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
