Oppose Chromatic aberrations and imo, the contrast should be improved, and the bee is partly hidden by the flowers. -Gzzz (talk) 09:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a new version with the CA fixed and contrast enhanced using Lightroom. As for the bee being partly hidden by the flowers, I can't fix that. There is no position where the bee is not partly hidden by the flowers as it is sitting in them. The sculptor presumably positioned the bee within a flowerbed to give the impression that a giant bee had landed there. So I think being surrounded by flowers is the intention rather than a placement flaw. The bee wouldn't look nearly so attractive on a concrete plinth. The intention of this photo is to highlight the three aspects of the Eden Project: the biomes, the sculptures and the landscaped gardens. The fact that the hexagonal biome structure mimics a bee's honeycomb is also appropriate I think. Colin (talk) 14:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the corrections, this version is better. In my opinion it deserves a QI but however not a FP. -Gzzz (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

- Support impressive. Tomer T (talk) 17:55, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Weak support I give it a weak support for its difference... difference to other bug pictures ;) And it's technically good. --Ximonic (talk) 18:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
