•  Oppose – Composition, serious smear from noise reduction. More compelling images of Papilio machaon in Category:Papilio machaon --Ernie (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment I've spent quite a few hours over the last couple of days scouring the categories and most images are too small, anything under about 2,000,000 bytes isn't good enough (for macro) and even when they have the sharpness, there is composition, focus, exposure etc. At first glance some images there might look better, but if you open each one up you might only find one or two good enough to nominate, only to find they already have been, and either rejected or featured.--Silversmith Hewwo 22:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
  • So you are saying the image you nominated is the only Papilio machaon left that meets the FP standards? --Ernie (talk) 09:14, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I just had a look through the category you linked to, and there are a few (ignoring caterpillars) that are high quality, but they are a bit noisy or blurry when you zoom in, and many have bad lighting or distracting backgrounds. this one is about the best that remains (excluding the one that is already a FP) and I doubt it would get voted in. If you think there is one that is worth nominating then please show me. And actually, having another close-up look at this one, it certainly has a few problems. I won't withdraw it at this point though, I'd like to get more feedback. --Silversmith Hewwo 12:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I took myself the time to have a closer look at Category:Papilio machaon too. I made a quick selection over at my talk page. To be honest, I think the currently featured picture is the only one that deserves to be. --Ernie (talk) 16:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
