- Comment I would have though that this type of image belongs on Quality Images. But, I could be wrong. 203.35.135.136 15:23, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose Poor field depth (paws are blurry), plus lighting issue in the right of the background: it is turning violet (an homogeneous and clean background would be appreciated). --Coyau (talk) 19:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Very poorly done background and insufficient DOF. Chelae are OOF. Object is not (yet) clean. Lycaon (talk) 10:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Dear Lycaon: Just for your information. Body from head to beginning of tail: ½ inch… baby scorpion… Shutter speed: ½ sec, aperture: f16, 50mm macro lens. So, if an observant photographer/critic adds up that information, the conclusion is that additional DOF is difficult to get because 1) macro lenses inherently have shallow DOF, it is plain physics, you should know, you claim to be a scientist; 2) f16 is a very small aperture that will yield DOF, however, due to the fact that for illustration purposes, a diagonal plane (so not paralllel to the chip lane) was chosen as to render the most complete information about this bug, so macrolly speaking, even though the distance between the front part of the subject to the furthest part is small, in macro terms it is large. 3) In macro photography DOF is always sacrificed at one point. What really matters is the sum of the elements. 4) Finally, you really must be joking about the bug not being (yet) clean! And BTW, this is another bug, not the previous one. Other one died… :o( --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Dof. You could use focus stacking like this other scorpion macro which also has a much cleaner background. However that one also failed FP. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Daniel, yes, much better photograph. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
