Neutral When photographing insects you want to get the eyes sharp. I'm not sure if this is sharp enough. Also there is bit of a ca problem you might want to fix. - Uberprutser (talk) 19:53, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
OpposeUnsharp. The blur of the background is good, but not just all around the butterfly, where it is noisy. This looks artificial.--Jebulon (talk) 20:40, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Oppose per Jebulon. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 22:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Support I too prefer the whole subject in focus for the sake of EV. But it is almost impossible with a macro lens; we need to use a generic tele lens for that purpose, which results overall less details. Focus on the eye is a common preference for all photos; but I prefer a butterfly with sharp wings than eyes if both are not possible. See other butterfly FPs here. I think Joydeep may achieve a bit more sharp eye, if he can align his camera with it's wings. -- JKadavoor Jee 05:00, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, the camera should be aligned with it's wings but I had to be very quick because the butterfly was on the flower for just 4-5 seconds. And I agree with Jeevan that "...I prefer a butterfly with sharp wings than eyes if both are not possible." -- JDP90 (talk) 06:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
