Support Lighting in this image is much better than the last FPC. I also like having a bit of nature in the background. The very top of the flower is out of focus, but the majority of it is there. JujutacularT · C23:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Oppose: I find the flash lighting and dark background somewhat "unpleasant". Was there a good reason for doing it this way? Maedin\talk06:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Small aperture was required to get the whole inflorescence into focus. Windy conditions = faster shutter = dark bg. FWIW, it's a lot better than the previously nominated picture which almost passed --Muhammad(talk)07:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I realised the small aperture and would have forgiven that on its own. Thanks for explaining the windy conditions, and I do appreciate that it's much better than the previously nominated image. But I think I'll stick with my oppose for aforementioned reasons. Maedin\talk07:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
