•  Info c/u/n by -- mathias K 15:04, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support My first try with the new guidelines is a Mononychus punctumalbum on a closed blossom of a flower of the Iris family. Good to see are the holes which came from feeding from the blossom. -- mathias K 15:04, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 02:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Neutral I believe it could be darkened a little bit. It seems somewhat greyish for the moment. I did such an adjustment locally, but I didn't dare upload the modified file over the existing one. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 15:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Info I've uploaded a slightly darker version. The difference is just marginal but i wont go any further cause I'm really pleased with the result now. bg mathias K 09:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Confusing image. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Question Confusing?? I can see a blossom and a bug. What is confusing on this? If you mean that you can see a ~ 5mm big bug so large on your monitor, than your right, that is confusing but imo no reason to oppose. So when you oppose please use comprehensible reasons. Thanks --mathias K 14:25, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I thought it was confusing. Where is the head of this bug? I cannot see it. I do not see a flower - I first thought that the bud was some stage of the insect. I am sorry for not being an entomologist. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I've added notes to indicate the head and snout - MPF (talk) 14:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

And now you are also leaving messsages on my talk page... please, you nominated, you invite comments, I commented. If you do not like it, do not nominate. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

No need to apologize. I dont see anything bad if I leave you a message on your talkpage if i cant understand your oppose. But OK, I will never ever do so. Promise! But I still dont understand your oppose when you don't see where the bug starts and the flower stops. Thats the point of macrophotography, to show the viewer a world he did`nt recognise allone. But OK. --mathias K 14:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 Support Very good. Thanks for the edit. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 17:27, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

•  InfoI did an a crop of the image and tried to get a better composition. I think that is the biggest problem of the image. Amada44 (talk) 21:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support - Darius Baužys ^{→ talk} 05:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Info I've uploaded a tighter croped version to show more of the flower and the weevil. But I dont want to crop more cause I still want to show the blossom with the holes from the snout. I dont rotate the image cause a closed Irisblossom mostly stands upright. But thanks a lot for the try! So, please purge cache and have a look again. Thanks, bg mathias K 08:56, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment -- This is a weird little critter! I think the composition would improve a lot if the bottom half of the image were cropped. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Hmm, maybe, but than you only can see one tiny hole and not three. And the Irisflower is a strong part of the biotope from this weevil for feeding AND reproduction. Because the eggs where also put in this flower through nearly the same holes. And thats the reason why I want to show so much flower with the holes. bg mathias K 09:24, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Looks confusing to me to. Neither I can clearly see an insect, and neither the composition works for me. Sorry. --Lošmi (talk) 18:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
