Reason

I have been practicing on houseflies since I first got my 150mm. Different lighting techniques and all, and this IMO is the best of them all. Good quality and EV. Subject deserves a FP.

• Weak oppose for the distracting object lower left that is clipping the subject. You have a lot of much better macros of much rarer flies on this very page so the most common one of all should really be up to the same standard. Mfield ( Oi!) 04:36, 3 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Reason says "Subject deserves a FP". Not to prejudice this nom, but for the record the subject has several FPs (check images in article). -- jjron ( talk) 14:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC) reply
  • I meant FP for the one complete housefly. We have a portrait and a mating pic, but no complete body shot. -- Muhammad (talk) 15:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC) reply
    • Fair enough - couldn't remember that specifically with all the other flies... :-) -- jjron ( talk) 07:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Oppose per Mfield. Shouldn't be too hard to do better. Noodle snacks ( talk) 05:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC) reply
