Weak oppose - Very interesting, but the second beetle on the other side of the flower distracts from the composition. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:24, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Couldn't that be fixed by cropping? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:47, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I could crop that out or maybe do some cloning but I felt it showed that they are not solitary. Thoughts? --Muhammad(talk) 09:03, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - If that's the effect we're going for, I'd have thought more of the insect would have been in order. Right now it's just incidental. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:43, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Edit something along the lines of what you expect? --Muhammad(talk) 11:08, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Except for misrepresenting the flower, yes. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:16, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Dont think that's a misrep, the flower was eaten by the bug --Muhammad(talk) 17:08, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
