•  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, the organism is not identified, so the file is near to useless at the moment. Lycaon (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Contested the FPX. This is not Valued Images. Think of this butterfly photo as an artwork, and a great one at that. Looking both at past successful candidates and the guidelines, it simply eludes me why species ID (or any other metadata) should matter at all on FPC, especially since, in the form of VI, we already have a different designation for images that are informative and well-described. -- JovanCormac 17:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Of course it matters. Completely unidentified organisms are next to useless. Moreover, your artwork is noisy and has a blurry head. Lycaon (talk) 17:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
    •  Comment The goal of a wiki is to collaborate. Anyway, the FPC page has way more visibility than any other for identifying a species. Should I mention an “exceptional picture” (rough translation of « Images remarquables ») is exceptional, whatever the moment. A featured picture, by its status—and hence its visibility— will end up fully identified in the future, won't it? Just my opinion, because I consider myself more a photographer than a biologist. →Diti the penguin — 20:47, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose, unsharp head (motion blur). --Aqwis (talk) 21:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

 Comment I guess this picture was taken at some kind of butterfly zoo and to me (but I am no biologist) i looks like some kind of Heliconius (Because of the shape of the butterfly but also because I know they are bred in captivity) but to narrow it down further is kind of hard because there are many species and also hybrids between species. I think the best way to know for sure would be going to the butterfly zoo, be polite and ask some who works there which species they have. --Korall (talk) 19:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
