•  Comment Support This is a nice composition and a beautiful picture. Pity that numerous artifacts are clearly visible in full resolution. Can it be fixed?

Not artifacts, in fact the scales are visible, to see here scale The original with the format raw without compression, shows the structure in scales --Luc Viatour 05:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

•  Question I have 2 questions: What iso did you use? Did you make that photo in a studio? The blue colour looks quite artifical. In general a good shot.--AngMoKio 19:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Not in studio in my garden, with the sky and the roof of the slate house --Luc Viatour 05:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose Blue is too distracting, looks artificial. Too many elements in and out of focus. --Tomascastelazo 15:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• for out of focus: in macrophotography it is impossible to have much depth of field! To see here: Macro photography --Luc Viatour 09:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• I am well aware of DOF difficulties in macro photography, as an inevitable result of camera to subject distance, lens focal length, etc., and te same applies to telephoto usage. However, the many elements of the plant compete with main subject darting in and out of focus, thus making the image too busy. Think of an autofocus camera that doesn´t quite know where to focus. That is the visual effect I get. Try croppng it. And the blue looks too artificial --Tomascastelazo 15:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose  Support I love the photo but please make the caption more explicit if you want I change my vote (is “Hamois” the location ? is it shot outside or in a greenhouse ? what is the plant ?) B.navez 18:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I corrected description: Butterfly Nymphalis io on the flowers of Prunus laurocerasus (Photographed in the countryside of Hamois in Belgium)in the open air --Luc Viatour 05:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
