Housefly on a leaf[edit]

Reason: Good quality and EV. I am particularly pleased with the lighting and composition. One of my best if I may say so.

This image goes very well with the colors of the infoboxes in these articles. For some reason, in Musca (genus), I like better the image of yours that was there before. Maybe because of the brown in the dead parts of the leaves again looking well with the colors of the infobox. This image is very pleasant to view I will weak support for the moment. I am not sure if the percent of the body that is out of focus is acceptable. franklin 16:10, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. This is an extremely well-done picture- the colours and composition are fantastic. However, I am inclined to agree to a certain extent with the comments above. J Milburn (talk) 19:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Another fly FPC?! Low DOF. --Dschwen 22:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nice colours and sharp, but the FP bar for flies is already set very high :). In a way is great as it is, but I think a slight crop could improve it for the purpose of illustrating Wikipedia articles. Elekhh (talk) 23:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support per J Milburn. Agreeing with Dschwen about DOF, but as long as it's a different species it's got separate encyclopedic value. Once Muhammad provides FPs of all the fly species in the world, captures them all mating, and shoots them all perched on ahem he'll probably move on to sexual dimorphism in flies. He's a man on a mission. Go for it, Muhammad. Durova⁴⁰⁹ 19:00, 5 February 2010 (UTC) Some of those ahem shots could only be achieved by astounding dedication or anosmia.[reply]
- LOL. It gets easy after the first few ahems :) --Muhammad(talk) 02:23, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Talk about suffering for one's art! Prefer crop. :) Durova⁴⁰⁹ 02:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)I might never eat mangoes again.[reply]

Comment the binomial name should appear in the image description. Snowman (talk) 01:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Do I get a support now :)?--Muhammad(talk) 02:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support the cropped version. The sort of photograph that needs special equipment. Would you consider changing licence from 1.2 to creative commons 2 or 3? Snowman (talk) 13:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
