- Info I thought this was a really impressive butterfly close-up. I admit that the resolution is not that high, but the butterfly is really large in the frame, so the detail is actually quite good. There are two FPs of the related dark blue tiger (Tirumala septentrionis), but none of this species. created by SVKMBFLY - uploaded by SVKMBFLY - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 20:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The wing is a bit too close to the left, and the cut-off flower at the top is just a little distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose Too closely cropped. I am biased Cmao20, but think that this male of the same species would be a better FP candidate. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I agree with Charles. I'm not normally keen on withdrawing a nomination so fast, but the picture Charles has taken is considerably better than this one. Unfortunately Charles' picture is currently displaying a fault on Commons where recent changes fail to show up when viewing the photo at full-size, as documented here. Hopefully this problem will fix itself, so for now I will nominate another picture entirely, but I will nominate Charles' photo when I next have a slot available.

- @Cmao20: Since this is a cache issue, you should only run into this problem if you viewed the full-size page before the new version got uploaded. I have no problem seeing the latest version of Charles' picture at full-size. When viewing the photo at full size, refresh the page and the recent changes should immediately show up.

- @StellarHalo: I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure that tells the full story. Before this morning I had never seen Charles' butterfly picture. I looked at the thumbnail, then went to view the full-res pic, and was greeted by his version as of 9th Jan 2018. I tried clearing my cache and visiting the page again, but no luck. Happily, though, I agree with you that I now have no problem viewing the pic at full size - the issue has somehow resolved itself. So Charles, you can expect to see your photo on FPC soon - hopefully tomorrow if this nom passes by five-day rule as currently seems likely. Cmao20 (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
