•  Comment Not resting at all. It obviously feeds on the turtle's tears. Gidip (talk) 13:02, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
  • @Gidip: Should I withdraw the nomination out of respect for the turtle? We can't have a FP showing an unhappy living thing. russavia (talk) 13:19, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks Gidip for the info. Jee 16:00, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support The crop is not ideal but the moment is very nice and so is the quality. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 15:54, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Technical quality is not perfect, but this image has great wow for me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:22, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support The focus is not where it should be, there are some really distracting bugs in the background, but yes, it's a thing I wasn't aware of, and it's big wow for me as well. - Benh (talk) 07:20, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:23, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment The photo would benefit from cloning out the dark spot left of the butterfly (another insect) and perhaps by cropping out the blurry stem (see my annotation). For now too obvious photographic flaws for me, but can be easily enhanced. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 07:28, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Fabulous photo, regardless the high JPEG compression. --Ras67 (talk) 14:34, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support --ComputerHotline (talk) 10:54, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose As long as my adressed photographic issues are not resolved. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 11:38, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

• My understanding is that all those flying insects are same butterfly. Sometimes, such realities (why and how those butterflies are attracted to reptile tears) have more educational value than artistic perfection. Jee 16:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

• I've made a crop as proposed for comparison. Indeed it looks better! --Ras67 (talk) 17:14, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Very interesting. Great shot! --Halavar (talk) 21:58, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
