Comment - G'day, nice to see you still around! I can't really make my mind up on this pic - obviously an amazing, rare shot. But it's a bit confusing what's going on (took me a while to figure out which was which :p), and the narrow DOF is slightly distracting. This would be a fantastic image if we had
Dragonfly reproduction - but we don't seem to have much more detailed than
Sexual reproduction#Insects.

Support: Great quality picture, displays it's purpose (albeit somewhat confusing to tell which one is male/female) and is focused on the subject at hand. –

Support Pretty much per the above, it's a little but confusing but overall it's a great shot and there would be no real way to effectively mitigate that confusion that I can think of.

Since everyone seems a little confused about the picture, perhaps a more detailed caption would be helpful.

According to
this the male is the one higher up in the image --

Oppose - Not among the best of Fir's works, I would expect a slightly larger dof, to cover the head of the male. Also, the unfocused wings are a bit distracting. Finally (this is an old issue), why is the picture so small? But I like the composition and don't find it confusing. --

Support Can't really see how Alvesgaspar expects the wings to be in focus. The male's head is somewhat in focus (although the eye is not), but I dont think that detracts hugely. I agree Fir's images could be larger, and deliberately uploading downscaled images is not exactly in the spirit of GFDL or the encyclopedia. —

I don't expect the wings to be in focus, I just say they are a bit distracting. --
