Oppose - Probably because I shoot too much butterflies in which rule-of-third is strongly emphasised, but without complying with the rule-of-thirds, I just don't really like the picture. Arctic Kangaroo 11:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Rule-of-thirds", as far as I know, isn't really a rule... Merely just a guideline. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've never photographed a butterfly, so I'm not that concerned about the "rule-of-thirds". Rreagan007 (talk) 06:17, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Don't like how the black plumage in the head merges into the background. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you. Arctic Kangaroo 14:14, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Striking enough. Dazzling bird. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Nice image, good EV. Composition could be somewhat improved, and I feel the shadow is distracting. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:13, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think this composition is to include the shadows. Further, here it seems we give emphasize to EV; not giving much importance to the artistic beauty (unlike in Commons). J Kadavoor J e e 15:57, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
