• Weak Oppose Dislike the composition - too much is devoted to empty space (which comes across as somewhat forced attempt to conform with the rule of thirds). Also would have liked the fly angled towards the camera as opposed to looking away. Finally (and this should be correctable) there is a lot of noise in the fly's shadow - it looks as if it was lifted excessively(?) --Fir0002 00:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Edit 1 Uploaded, cropped out empty space and NR on fly's shadow. Regarding the angle, I got just this one picture of the fly before it flew away. --Muhammad(talk) 03:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
