Oppose, The gravel is in sharper definition than the butterfly. The butterfly itself is damaged. For an artistic shot, this may not matter, but for a very straight image with emphasis on subject matter rather than artistry, the butterfly needs to be intact.

Question: Is it acceptable to try and mend a butterfly's wing? nagualdesign (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I rather like it, though I'm not sure how others feel. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nagualdesign, great! You are a butterfly doc :-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I can doctor anything, me.

But it is a good example for explaining how the fancy tails, antenna like growths and "false eyes" help to confuse the predators and save their lives. They also adapt a behavior to enhance these features. J e e 04:04, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that once the broken piece of wing is digitally replaced, it rules it out as a great photo. Amandajm (talk) 05:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
