Info all by Moroder -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:43, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Support -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:43, 6 August 2018 (UTC)- Weak support Interesting context to see a lowering plant in. Although maybe it doesn't need so much space around it. Daniel Case (talk) 02:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for the support. May I cite this comment by Franz van Duns on QIC? ”I do want to emphasize the fact that this image not only displays an outcrop of a rare plant, but also places the surrounding bare and not yet weathered rock to exactly the right proportions. A true eye-catcher, I really like it.” This flower blossoms for a very short period and lives on dolomite rock at an elevation between 1700 and 2000 meters --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 05:51, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

- Strong support Yes, of course, Wolfgang, you may definitely cite my QIC comment. This image is outstanding just because it breaks with one of the rules that IMHO have seeped into Wiki Commons, namely close-cropping. In many cases close-cropping is a boon, by just cutting away distracting elements. In this case the nigh-silvery-and-orange sheen of the spacious rock face, which in itself presents a highly attractive structure, does ample service to emphasize the deep blue and green hues of the plant cluster. And, an afterthought, at low resolution this image may seem slightly bland to some, but at the highest resolution, which Wiki Commons emphasizes as a desireable goal, and especially when viewed on a 4k monitor, the colour, detail, and proportion of this image just blow you away. Still love it. Keep up the good work! --Franz van Duns (talk) 08:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I can surely see the artistic side of this, but IMO the photo is a bit too dark and the WB too blue and that makes the photo look dull. (Suggestion, corr only WB and light) --Cart (talk) 09:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I did a very slight correction of temperature and brightness but the histogram looks perfect --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 11:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support Looks better now. Going by the histogram is not always enough and can sometimes be very misleading. We see light, colors and contrasts in relation to each other in a way that histograms can't measure. A good image is not based on numbers and diagrams but rather on our sometimes irrational brain. --Cart (talk) 12:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
