Review
(criteria)
  •  Comment Nice photo. I agree it is the best at showing the plant in its entirety (and natural environment). Nice composition too. However, for maximum value in online content, where it is typically not shown in large size, I would recommend making a cropped version in portrait format showing only the left plant in its entirety in an (admittedly more boring) composition. However, this is not FP, and for VI purposes I think it is better to fill the frame with the subject than to retain an optimal composition. --Slaunger (talk) 15:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment While I would prefer a photograph of the plant from within its native range of South Africa, I'm inclined to support this one or the cropped version that Slaunger suggests. Walter Siegmund (talk) 19:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Embarrassed to admit that I did not do my homework prior to writing my first comment, as it appeared so native in the photograph, that I did not even consider that it could be an introduced species in NSW, Australia. I thought, great, I have one of these in my garden, now I also know where it grows naturally! Anyway, now enlightened, I still think this is a good VI candidate, especially if cropped. --Slaunger (talk) 21:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for the reviews. I will get a cropped version up. --99of9 (talk) 06:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
