•  Comment To be honest, I promoted it in QI but saw it just over the bar in terms of detail, I don't see this a FP Poco a poco (talk) 11:49, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support I agree with Poco's point, anyway it is an interesting moment and I think the details are acceptable. The images of insects that we usually see here from Sven Damerow have influenced my impression of the 2020s desirable FP. Yes, it is true that what the photographer can do is more important than what the hardware/software does, but I have to admit that it has become increasingly difficult for me to support noms of insects that do not have high resolution. The species of bee should be added to the categories. -- IamMM (talk) 06:38, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

• Not all insect photo opportunities are the same. This is an insect protecting its kill and this was the third place it flew to. It would not allow a macro photo. This is taken with a 500mm lens, so some cropping is inevitable and the lens won't focus closer than about 1.1m. And this is a single shot, not a focus stack.

•  Weak support the sharpening (or denoising) model creates some harsh edges, but I like the drama of the scene — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:56, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
