•  InfoDew fly on the top of a Montbretien blossom in a garden of Bamberg. Focus stack of 17 frames. All by me -- Ermell (talk) 08:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Support -- Ermell (talk) 08:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Question - Is "Unidentified Drosophilidae" OK for FP, or should we have an identification of the species first? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:50, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

  Agree with Ikan, a clear FP to me if identified Poco a poco (talk) 09:35, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• I'm asking a question, not giving an answer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:20, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment Does anyone know this fly? I have searched for a long time and found no answer. I couldn't find a unique category either.--Ermell (talk) 12:50, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Support How did you make the fly immobile to take the 17 shots for stacking? --Llez (talk) 15:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Info Actually I just wanted to photograph the blossom but then the fly was coming along. It should not be too windy for stacking images.--Ermell (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Question @Ermell: can u enlighten me a little? I'm doing mean/median stacking. I guess it's the same principle. There's a pre stage which consists in aligning the pictures (because in my case, the pictures are taken from a slightly moving drone). So my question is: if the leaves move very slightly, your process/pipeline will align everything right. Am I correct? Thanks - Benh (talk) 09:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment No, I'll have to rework it by hand. The less the object has moved the better. Still air is ideal and I always use a tripod. That is certainly difficult with a drone.--Ermell (talk) 10:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks. And it's actually not so hard to realign drone shots as long as the drone stays still enough (obviously) and it's high enough to minimize parallax errors. - Benh (talk) 06:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

• Helicon Soft aligns my hand-held/monopod-supported images quite well. If I have moved sideways too much, then I align and crop manually getting it as close as I can then the software can usually cope. You need to make sure there's only one 'in focus' insect or whatever in the frame so that the software doesn't get confused. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Reminds me Richard Bartz at his best. Gorgeous composition and light. - Benh (talk) 20:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Support --GRDN711 (talk) 00:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing quality, and the species seems identified now. Well done -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:27, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Info I am now pretty sure that it is this fly, especially since the picture was taken directly under a cherry tree.--Ermell (talk) 22:10, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

• Are you sure, Ermell? None of the images I can find on the Internet have the same dark marks on the abdomen. And the eye seems different. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

• I have asked the experts at Wikipedia but have not yet received an answer. If someone knows better, you can always change that.--Ermell (talk) 21:37, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Can we keep the discussion open. Shouldn't promote with possible error in id. Sorry Ermell, I can't think of any other way to delay promotion other than temporary oppose.Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• Quite rightly it's going to be promoted Ermell, and if you remove species name, I will remove oppose vote. ̴̴ Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

• Well Charlesjsharp, I will reset the category to unidentified. Maybe one will appear in my garden again this year and then I will have a closer look again.--Ermell (talk) 19:27, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
