•  Support borderline case for me, I struggle with the wow factor. but the colors and the background is unusually beautiful and harmonious, I like the different shades of green.--ArildV (talk) 09:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose I see it the way Arild does, but come to the opposite conclusion about whether this is featurable (it's definitely a QI). I understand the desire to show more of the plant than the flowers, but in this case that means also showing a distracting background. A crop to the area around the flower I'd probably support.

  •  Comment No can do, this is a composition with the whole plant, not only inflorescence. --Ivar (talk) 06:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose I know from my own experience how difficult it is to photograph orchids outside - windy conditions are often a problem and the plants a quite tiny. Oppose because I think sharpness / DoF is not perfect here. Parts of the left leaf are sharper than the flower itself. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:56, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Comment @Tuxyso: Whole inflorescence is crisp sharp here, are we looking at the same image? --Ivar (talk) 08:22, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
