Oppose Both versions. Agree with Andreas about composition lacking focal point. Would have worked better with one butterfly in close-up and the others in the background. Also, neither version is sharp enough, except to be as a background to one butterfly close up. Sorry. -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 00:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Even if I wanted to climb a tree to get an image you are talking about (with one butterfly in close-up and the others in the background), I would have probably ended up in jail because the trees that monarchs are resting during the migration are prohibited to approach and monarchs are protected, and then of course I would not have been able to nominate the unsharp images, where by the way one could count markings on the small and far away butterflies wings, but whatever...--Mbz1 (talk) 02:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition and a bit out of focus. --S. Martín (talk) 09:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

- Opposedistracting, what is the main object? I would prefer a single butterfly. --Andreas 06 (talk) 13:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- The main object is butterflies migration. We have more than enough great macros of a single butterfly. Monarchs are unique because they migrate.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose confusing --R. Engelhardt (talk) 17:23, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Confusing mainly due to light. --S. Martín (talk) 09:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Both versions. Per other opposers. —kallerna™ 19:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
