•  Support While checking out our insect head collection, I came across this. I think it's a fabulous close-up with great detail. The author is in the scientific illustration business, so I hope this might encourage him to return and share more of his work. -- 99of9 (talk) 00:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Darn thing almost looks cute. Intriguing image. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 04:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Yup, I thought it was a dog at first too. Great detail! Daniel Case (talk) 04:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Wow! Yann (talk) 09:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support I'd like to have such a nice portrait of myself... --Schnobby (talk) 13:34, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Eeeks! Looks a little scary. I usually dislike insects, but nice head shot. —stay (sic)! 16:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose As much as I love the image, I cannot support as the quality is very poor here, especially near the edges. There is chromatic aberration, noise, and blurring. Doesn't really compare to this, this, this, or this. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --Butterfly austral (talk) 23:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:17, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose per THFSP THFSW, plus extreme tight cropping. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 08:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose per THFSW and Carschten.   ■ MMXX  ^talk  11:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
  • That's THFSW --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
    • Sorry ;-) --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 11:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
    • Me too!   ■ MMXX  ^talk 
•  Oppose As THFSW. W.S. 11:24, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Merops (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose The image is very good and illustrative, but I cannot support images with visibile technical errors, in this case from, I presume, overly strong selective denoising. --Quartl (talk) 08:09, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --Karelj (talk) 20:18, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose It should be noted on the photo technique "Focus stacking". There are too many errors. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:45, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support It's simply stunning, that mitigates for the minor technical issues. H005 21:22, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --Jovian Eye _talk 22:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
