•  Info This swallowtail was so intent on getting salts from the wet forest road in Ghana, that it tolerated me and my macro lens. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 06:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Compo not good, also background, leaf isnt helping neither. --Mile (talk) 08:08, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment The light is a bit flat, washing out some of the color on the butterfly and a bit of better contrast on the background would be nice. Want me to have a go at it? --cart-Talk 08:44, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

• please go ahead @W.carter: . Charles (talk) 09:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

• In this case I would need the raw file. Please email me a link to some dropbox I'm sure you have and I'll see what I can do later tonight when I'm home. (I'm at work now) --cart-Talk 09:08, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

• So,  Done. The raw file straight from the can was actually very nice and it didn't need that much help, don't know why you tried to get it so very bright (or perhaps I got it all wrong..). I made two versions, the first is just normal fixing plus a few very bright, distracting glints on the sand cloned out, in the second I removed a distracting little dry grass as well. If you like any of them, please use them. The crop is a bit wider too. I also noticed that you snuck in another file, presumably for me to fix. Ok, I'll do that one too for you and e-mail you a link to the result. In the future though, please only send me files that I volunteer to help you with. Best, --cart-Talk 18:22, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

• Many thanks. New version much better. I've reworked image to emulate your second version (I'd already done NR). Charles (talk) 21:06, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Neutral I agree that the light is harsh, but I will reserve judgement until I see what cart can do. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Looks better now. --cart-Talk 21:30, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment - I like the butterfly, but I don't like the near left corner, so I'd suggest cropping the butterfly much closer on the left side. Then if you like, you could adjust the crops on other sides, though that doesn't seem essential to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
