• Nothing special, there are a trillion bees in this world ;-). Ok, so the special thing is that you caught it in flight, which is non-trivial (I know from experience). However the angle is suboptimal, one wing vanishes, the flying is not obvious. A view from the side would be much clearer. The twig is a bit irritating too. --Dschwen (talk) 18:16, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment File:Apis_mellifera_flying.jpg has a much better composition IMO. --Richard Bartz (talk) 18:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
  • That one only has 1.6MP. One could argue with strong mitigating reasons though, as it seems to be a rather difficult shot. --Dschwen (talk) 21:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
    • ZAPP. More generous crop or less downsampling. It was taken by an 10mpx snapper, so it should be possible to download a 2mpx version. y/n ? --Richard Bartz (talk) 22:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
      • I'll see if I can get a slightly larger version, but it was a very difficult shot to take and major part of the picture had to be cropped out. --Muhammad (talk) 04:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral I really want to support but the twig is in the way. Would support the alt version. --ianaré (talk) 15:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not a bad shot, but File:Apis_mellifera_flying.jpg is far more impressive than this one. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 18:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
