Well, I would add. Anatoly, you are out of my comments on the "dry" instance of this problem was taken ... Just dealt with the unfortunate term, and its replacement by "collection" I am quite satisfied. Why were selected for some more features, I do not really understand.It is important that the live view (absolutely no difference, staging frame or natural catch photos) and a copy of the dried collection look much differently, most especially color. This is significant to illustrate the species.Pose, background and other characteristics of interest, but this is beyond illustrating appearance. Well, excuse me, what difference a good shot beetle (butterfly) on the meadow or in cages in the room? It somehow affects the use of the photo to identify species? So just I do not understand you here a detailed discussion about the purpose of selection.For example, I use only a selection of taxonomic groups, and how (excluding image quality) and where filmed, I was not very important. Therefore, in my understanding, the purpose of the photo screening - to find an image of the form of interest. A listed two parameters (live specimen and dry in the collection) is quite enough.

Ivan, I agree with you that as long as online photo size is not sufficient to demonstrate the capabilities of modern macro example photos from the site of the Zoological undeniably calls "to strive for the heights" (along with pictures Makarova and a number of other authors, where, incidentally, there is a very bad shots , high resolution which does not help), but,as I understand it, is the technical (and financial) capabilities do not allow. Here http://carabidae.org/gallery limits are the same, but the quality of it is due to the selection and placement of photos of high quality. Here, too, there is a dilemma - to illustrate as many species, or, at the expense of quantity, placing only high quality pictures.IMHO, the truth is in the middle.

Well, it is a matter of the author's photo. If he believes that the quality of its image suffers from the limitation of 800 pixels. Vertical, who stirs put in horizontal on 1200. Here are just a collection of pictures here is very little.I am very hesitant to spread that spread now from his collection (ancient pictures soap box more than a decade ago, and even initially reduced to its database). But decided that the best is at least something. There are better, it can be removed.Shooting (qualitative) collection specimens - work slow and time-consuming. Even if you do not layered photos using a microscope (it is primarily about small beetles), you still need to degrease beetle (clear), sometimes pereraspravit, put the lights, tripod and other ...This piece-work, requiring huge investment of time even with all the necessary equipment.

Ivan, on the main gallery and more. I can not find out what the topic is discussed in detail (and perhaps it was the news of the site), but this division is just intended Peter to the gallery there was "an abundance of pictures of the same species, taken in the same region "as Eugene wrote.The plan was to leave only the main gallery-quality photos from different angles, the most successful and fully illustrate the characteristics of the type and stage of all. The selection criteria for the main picture gallery is not just discussed. At the same time, users will be able to view photos and more from the gallery.Here it is tested on Swallowtail. Over time, I think it will be done with others. Taxa. A common sense - yes, I agree, should be included in order not to load a low-quality picture for those species where sufficient quality.It only makes sense if there are no photos to view in general, or for a new site to the point, or rare species, a photo which is generally difficult to do in nature. Very occasionally do so (before even explains why :) https://insecta.pro/gallery/23764) It also happens that those 5 who are already loaded to the point, obviously inferior quality or smaller.
