  • Support Slightly prefer composition of alternative - the wings are out of focus in the first one anyway, so not much loss there, and the second has a better view of the feeding and flower. However, the original is sharper, so I could go either way. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nearly full support. I think it would be awesome in profile. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Were you going to nominate this one later? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think so, the composition is good but not the image quality. As for the profile shots, there are two in the "other versions" info. But not as good as the original IMO. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. Composition is better on 2nd edition. But eye is out of focus on 2nd, so I prefer 1st edition. Dmitry A. Mottl (talk) 06:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Original the bee is in much better focus--St.daniel Talk 14:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
