•  Info Euthalia aconthea enjoying rotten fruits. C/U/N Jkadavoor -- Jee 05:15, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support -- Jee 05:15, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - Less contrast and not as great as your last picture, but still a great capture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unfortunately the background isn't right, and that stick (is that what it is?) at the centre bottom is too distracting for me. —Bruce1ee^talk 05:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support INeverCry 06:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment I can understand that you chose this over the "runway photo" since the butterfly is sharper in this pic but here the background is rather distracting as Bruce1ee pointed out. w.carter-Talk 08:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  weak I'm sorry, but the background is just too distracting here --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:47, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment It's a great shot, but tricky to go for FP with this sort of puddling shot and the inevitable ghastly background. Charles (talk) 21:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks Charles for your opinion. Yes; it is a risky nom. As a buttefly enthisiast, I try to document and highlight all types of behaviour shots than just beautiful "butterflies on flowers". Sometimes it works; many times, not. :) Jee 02:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

• And I think it is GREAT that you do! Keep up the good work with all sorts of backgrounds, situations and bold experiments. The diversity is much appreciated. --cart-Talk 20:25, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Alt version

•  Info Less magnification compared to original; but having a better background. -- Jee 09:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I'll go for this just because it's a better photo. I like the little green plants on the right-hand side, combined with the buttefly at the bottom it looks like an old Japanese print. w.carter-Talk 09:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support. The background is better; the crop is a little tight at the bottom, but not enough to oppose. —Bruce1ee^talk 10:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I like the more interesting background in the other picture. I also think the butterfly is a bit clearer in the other picture. Purely at full size, the little rocks in the other picture produce a somewhat more assertive blur, but at full-page size, I prefer the other picture. So after all that, I'll vote to oppose this version in favor of the other one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Info @Jkadavoor: I increased slightly sharpness, please revert, if it's not better. --Ivar (talk) 11:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

• Better! Thanks Ivar. Jee 11:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Support I like them both. INeverCry 19:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment It's a great shot, but tricky to go for FP with this sort of puddling shot and the inevitable ghastly background. Charles (talk) 21:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Like the other one, I thought the background was food at first. Daniel Case (talk) 21:20, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

• This butterfly likes rotten fruits. Here it is enjoying them in my courtyard under the Guava tree. The background includes the remaining of many guavas. Jee 02:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks Lmbuga for the comment. The Google translator deliver it to me as "Congratulations for joining seven votes (and there will be more) with any of these images. In my opinion, the best fabrics". My vague guess is that you like the texture on its wings? (The only one word I understood in my visit to Asturias to represent the WM community in the Princess of Asturias Awards is "Hola". I love Spain; an interesting culture with several languages as in India. Jee 02:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
