Comment. Are those blown highlights in the reflected spots? On the other hand, the fact that this is a side view seems to have made it possible to get almost the entire insect in focus, which is impressive. Spikebrennan 16:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is also made easier because the animal is a damselfly - they hold their wings vertically above their body - as opposed to a dragonfly that holds them horizontally. Debivort 18:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support. It's good, but I don't regard an image whose sole use is as part of a Gallery in one article as really meeting Criterion 5, adding significant value to an article. If this can't find more fitting uses, then change vote to oppose (note: being used on Japanese Wikipedia does not count for an English Wikipedia FPC). --jjron 05:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
