•  Info This is an unusual type of butterfly. They've got a long snout/beak/palpi. The flower is a fragrant type of mint. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Unusual indeed; quality and sharpness are great. Cmao20 (talk) 13:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose imho it doesn't stand out among other FP-s of this category. --Ivar (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

• Well, here's a surprise, another oppose vote from Ivar! There is no FP of this genus. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support - Very good to me. Can you identify the insect on the left side of the plant? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

• Not this time. It's a small black bug!! Charlesjsharp (talk)

•  Support Your new Photoshop plugins do wonders. --Podzemnik (talk) 00:36, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• I agree, that's why I notified the community on the FP talk page about Topaz Denoise AI and Sharpen AI. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Definitely a nice picture, however, I agree with Ivar. The light is rather dull, and it would be nice if the flower was focused. —kallerna (talk) 08:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• What camera settings do you suggest I should have used —kallerna to focus the flower? Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• As we both know, it is not possible to take this frame with both the butterfly and the flower focused. IMHO it is disruptive when the flower is so obviously OOF. As I said it's a nice picture, but I think this is not your best butterfly image. —kallerna (talk) 10:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
• BTW, found one butterfly-shot from my galleries, and the flower is not disruptively OOF (of course a completely different setting and location). However, it's a common species and the background is rather distracting - would not support that nowadays. —kallerna (talk) 11:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• Happy to support delisting of your image. Settings are always a compromise. Your flower is only so-so, but your choice of 1/200 sec and F14 mean that there is zero detail around the head of the butterfly. My flower is in focus, but with little depth of focus. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• Feel free to delist the photo. I'm here to cherish the quality of FPs - not to bolster up my ego. —kallerna (talk) 12:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Neutral I appreciate the fact that this is a species of which we don't have HQ images but the out of focus flower, specially on the top, is in fact disturbing. I'd even rather get rid of the top. Poco a poco (talk) 14:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• That's a possibility. Any thoughts elsewhere? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

• I prefer the photo as is but would be willing to consider a different version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:36, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support I wouldn't call that dull, but soft lighting here. Although it might be a bit too even. I like it anyways. I don't care much about the OOF parts. I'd say they even makes this more 3-dimensional. I also like that the details on the wings are very nicely rendered (but I'm not too keen on the results on the body "fur", it might be overshapened a little). Long story short: nice shot :) - Benh (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
