Technical errors I'm talking about
Red- cloning errors
Yellow- Blurred/not focused
Purple- Caterpillars underneath or what is this?

Strong oppose Though it makes an interesting picture, there are some visible technical problems. The subject (which I believe is the caterpillar bundle) is not entirely in focus and the lighting is not equal. In particular about the lighting, the background is brighter than the object, therefore making it visually distracting. Some caterpillars are lit (the orange hairs glow) and is due to the lighting as well.

Also, was the clone tool used for this image? It seems like there are multiple images overlapping. You can tell by looking at the lower left caterpillar and the blurred branch on the top right side of the bundle. Because this image suffers many problems, I'm afraid this may not pass FP.

I have added an image with identified errors I'm talking about. Zoo Fari 02:21, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, strong oppose is much better than no votes at all. No votes is boring. You are right about the problems.Withdraw and sorry for the work I created for you.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't put me into hard work. I literally enjoy working here at FP and "teaching" photographers how to improve. Everyone makes technical mistakes and you learn from them, and the next nomination would always be better :) Zoo Fari 03:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if there are votes, then I could learn, but with no votes or almost no votes one cannot learn. For example, I still do not know what was wrong with this nomination Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Grand canyon that did not get a single vote for 7 days! After all I think Tufacave was right and most of my images are "completely boring" even to loose the time to oppose.Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's really weird. What exactly is going on there? Stevage 03:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
