•  Oppose It's not awful but the position and posture of the fly is IMHO wrong. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 08:07, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

•  Support Even though I am not in to insect pictures, I like it. I love the shallow depth of field and good bokeh. The subject is well separated from the background and when viewed in full size, the picture is razor sharp. You can even see nice details like spider's web on the plants. Perhaps a tighter crop could make it better, when viewed at computer monitor, however. Yes. The composition could be better, but it is a good picture nonetheless. --Thermos 16:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

•  Comment The author has submitted a lot of other excellent pictures, but this even is not good. The main subject needs a lot more of space for its motion, the space that's below should be on top, and the one that's on the left should be on the right, or in other words: the subject should be lower and more to the left. Composition is really bad. Francisco M. Marzoa 13:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I made this image to illustrate a flower article for this species, so the main subject is the blossom and not the fly. If you mainly see this image as an insect image, then its bad indeed. But believe me, I never would have uploaded it then. The fly is just there to decorate the flower. But of course, your mileage may vary. I'm just a little bit disappointed if you say "the composition is really bad" only because it's not the composition you'd like to see. -- aka 14:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Even if the main subject is the flower, quality and DoF is excellent, BUT I still think that composition is bad with that fly there, because the fly seems to be the main subject for those who look at without further explanation. Do not be dissappointed. Your photo gallery is one of the bests that I've seen here (and may be that I'm wrong with this also, indeed). Francisco M. Marzoa 19:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
