- Support and Comment I really like this image. This angle and the way the light reflects off the side of the caterpillar is very interesting and eye-catching. Alas, I fear this one might receive wrath for not having every atom of this thing in sharp focus (depth of field). I personally don’t have any problem with it.

- Oppose Shallow DOF, some parts look completely blown and distracting background. --Muhammad(talk) 06:48, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Shallow DOF and distracting background? Are you sure that's what you meant? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 07:36, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose for the distracting background. The crop isn't quite there either- I can see what the photographer was trying to do here, and, if it'd worked, it would have been awesome, but, sadly, it didn't quite. J Milburn (talk) 09:48, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose because of the distracting background. --Priest zadok (talk) 12:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. This caterpillar is certainly eye-catching and without blown highlights I'd support. The background seems quite natural and isn't annoying and the angle is also fortunate enough to show nearly all colorful stuff (IMHO). Twilightchill t 14:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support FWIW I'm satisfied with the subject the BG doesn't seem distracting to me. --I'ḏ♥One 19:16, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose really not a fan on any level: lighting, composition, background. Cowtowner (talk) 22:12, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Comment It's the orange and blue appendages that are blown, in the red and blue channels, respectively. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 07:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- Weak Support Excellent clarity on the caterpillar, but it needs something more than that to be a featured picture. Haljackey (talk) 00:20, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Have you seen that the image is currently only used in a gallery? J Milburn (talk) 16:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support - good composition, excellent detail. It's a shame that the background is the same color as the caterpillar, but that and the DoF issues are not enough for me to decline. Tim Pierce (talk) 00:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
