Info created & uploaded by User:Vengolis - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Support - I'm nominating this photo mainly because I find the details of the compound eye pretty extraordinary. There is already one FP of this species, File:Eristalinus quinquestriatus 02840.jpg, which is also by Vengolis, but this file is much bigger and shows a different view. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Question - One request to Vengolis: Please add the category for the flowers in the picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:47, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Oppose The compound eye may be spectacular, but the compo with the cut flowers bugs me. --cart-Talk 09:06, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Comment - Thanks, Vengolis. You can vote for your own photo if you think it merits a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:00, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - The lack of interest in this picture is boring me. If no-one else votes for it, I may withdraw later tonight. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose per cart; I also find the light a little harsh. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - If even Vengolis can't be bothered to support his own photo, I don't see much point in continuing to try to get other supporting votes that aren't forthcoming. I get that most viewers here don't like the composition enough to support a feature. Thanks to all who participated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:08, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
