Support Good insect portrait! --Tremonist (talk) 13:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment High Resolution and Quality! Agreed but EV ???? Single line article does not contain any information related to the nomination. I should think once again for supporting I feel. DreamSparrow ^Chat 17:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Striking photo but unclear EV. The enwp FP process does (and, while POTY is as it is, should) want something very different from the Commons POTY competition. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:10, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: EV should be just as good as at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Calliphora vicina head, which was successfully promoted to WP:Featured picture quality with unanimous consensus. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 17:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here is your answer. Cirt, even I wanted to support this in the same manner I supported for the one you mentioned. But until the EV in question, I am really helpless. DreamSparrow ^Chat 17:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how that's an answer. This is the best image for the article Tabanus. — Cirt (talk) 17:33, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very good answer. The featured picture process here on Wikipedia is about recognising highly valuable images, not just striking images (which seems to be most of what is going on at POTY). The two images you're comparing are used in very different ways. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:48, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okely dokely do ! No worries, — Cirt (talk) 22:33, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Per Josh. Re EV, startling closeup doesn't show entire form. Sca (talk) 21:36, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the above, and my reasoning in other noms. This is not Commons. Just because an image is FP at Commons, or even a finalist in POTY, does not by default mean that it has EV. This image (as lead in the article) is representing an entire genus, and it is only the eyes...--Godot13 (talk) 00:42, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, Godot13, thanks for the helpful and polite explanations of your opinions. Much appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 00:47, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
