  • How about rotating it 90 degrees? It would be easier to look at. Bammesk (talk) 02:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do rotate butterfly images, but this is a normal position for this species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, if rotated, the light would appear to come from below - which would look quite unnatural! Support --Janke | Talk 17:03, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not if the image is rotated 90 degrees as suggested (clockwise). The light would be coming from right, slightly above horizon. Bammesk (talk) 02:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • But the feet would be all wrong - see the way it is gripping the twig. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:15, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
