Weak oppose - Animal is partially obscured. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Perfect angle of view. Abdomen of butterflies usually hidden in closed wing position. (Yellows always rest with wings closed, even during basking. They just turn around to face the sun with one side after other.) So the obscured parts are very minimal. J e e 16:18, 21 March 2014 (UTC)+[reply]

Oppose. I agree with Crisco, but it's not just because it's partially obscured. I know it's difficult to get all the important parts of butterflies in focus, but the angle also is poor IMO. Looking straight into the grass makes the composition pretty messy, and the focus is not great. Taken at 1/13th of a second, the antennae are a little motion blurred (minor issue, but contributing). Also, I think it's slightly overexposed. I've looked at other photos and it always tends to be a very light yellow-green, but this one seems a little more so. It's a nice photo and obviously illustrates the article satisfactorily but I don't think it's featureable. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:42, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
