Weak support It's nice, but the antennae are blurry, and I personally find the white sports on the leaf a bit distracting. Spencer^T♦^C 22:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Alt 1. It's much better in focus here, though I have to admit, the background is a tad distracting. Spencer^T♦^C 02:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - "Blurry antennae". ^8th star 01:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Alt1 is better... ^8th star 00:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt1 for softer lighting, better focus. Background is interesting but not too distracting. Fletcher (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support either - top one is actually better for identification since it shows the tarsi more clearly. de Bivort 16:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt1 - Better composition, lighting, and focus. Kaldari (talk) 18:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support original Nice. I think the background of the alt 1 is pretty busy.--Caspian blue 21:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
