- Support The head is slightly blurry, but other than that, this is excellent. There's possibly some slight overexposure in some of the highlights, but it seems the kind of thing that's unavoidable in any good photograph of this species, and does not detract. FPs 13:45, 28 January 2019 (UTC)]
- We have three FPs of this species already: File:ColapteryxVirgo.jpg A female, File:Calopteryx virgo male.jpg a juveline male and File:Beautiful Demoiselle Calopteryx virgo.jpg (not used) male, but will be nominated for delisting if my nomination is promoted. How is this one different? MER-C 11:27, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Good question, MER-C. I've indicated the differences above in bold. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:03, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Second point - the image should be exported at a higher quality. There are noticeable artifacts in the bokeh. (I'm quite surprised that Commons FPC didn't pick up on this.) MER-C 13:17, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Exported at highest quality available. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I see a halo around the dark wing - is it real, or just Mach bands? --Janke | Talk 08:53, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- so do I, but as it's not around all the wing I don't think it's from post-processing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:12, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
