•  Comment - I'm guessing the reason no-one has yet voted or commented on this picture is that they're not really sure what to say. This picture has value in documenting a view of this type of fruit fly, but compared to the beautiful light microscope images we've been voting on lately, or on the other hand, the pristine closeups of birds and some insects that we've been seeing, this seems to me to occupy an uncomfortable middle. The fly is not that sharp, and in terms of composition, it sort of hovers between some fuzzy white light and the fuzzy white tendrils of some plant that also seem to hover in midair, and which the viewer may have trouble identifying. I'm somewhat reluctant to firmly oppose featuring this photo, in case the documentation aspect of it might be judged to have great value, but I think this is really more in the nature of a Valued Image of the fly than a Featured Photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:25, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Ikan's observations and the black spots, one of which is very visible at right. INeverCry 00:51, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Since that comment practically dares someone to !vote, I'm going to agree with it that it is definitely QI but does not rise to FP level. Daniel Case (talk) 01:08, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Thanks for all comments. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 02:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
