Image:Hoverfly October 2007-21.jpg, featured

•  Info A beautiful hoverfly feeding on nectar (Episyrphus balteatus). Though not a very original nomination I believe that it compares favorably with similar existing FP: the picture is detailed, of good quality, and the composition is nice.

•  Oppose I don't think it has an ultimate wow detail or value. Sorry --Beyond silence 14:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree, it is not a very original nomination concerning composition. Besides that there are a few technical problems like slight overexposure (also evidenced by the histogram) and the central part of the flower seems overstaturated and/or oversharpened. -- Slaunger 15:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support as mentioned in QIC - a very nice composition --AngMoKio 21:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose The composition is nice but i dont like this (i will describe it as) flashlight look. Compared with the beauty of your last FP (which i honoured exuberantly) this one doesn't sweep me off my feet. Sorry --Richard Bartz 13:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment - No need to justify, I also agree that my last FP is more spectacular. On the other hand, I believe it is at least as good as this one, hence my comment above ;-) Alvesgaspar 15:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Still in with a fighting chance :-) --Tony Wills 11:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Back in the race. The fragments of pollen flying away won me out :) --Nattfodd 17:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

result: 6 support, 3 oppose, 0 neutral => featured. --Simonizer 07:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Question I think 6 support, 3 oppose is featured. Why not featured ? --Laitche 05:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  I think it is an error. The last vote was done before entering the tenth day so all votes should be valid, and we have five or more supporting votes. -- Slaunger 06:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  Yeah its wrong i will cange that --Simonizer 07:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment Would somebody please fix the Featured pictures page and add the featured picture tag to the image page. I am not an administrator and I don't know how to do that. --Laitche 19:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • You dont have to be a admin to do that. Iam not a admin, either. For instruction see: Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/What_to_do_after_voting_is_finished. I dont have the time to do that at the moment --Simonizer 11:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• I see. Thank you :) --Laitche 14:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
