  •  Moral support IMHO this photo deserves a little bit love ;–). I like the mood, the soft light and the delicate colours, and the background is IMHO really not bad because it melts away but still intimates the natural surroundings of this plant. Of course, on this page (FPC) we are now used to wonderful close-up photographs of buds and flowers which are completely sharp, created with focus stacking, and compared to them this picture seems to disappoint. But it’s a bit unfair to compare it to the focus-stacking images: this shot just belongs to a different genre. Such close-up photographs of flowers with low DoF are indeed quite popular (see Flickr), some great photographers have indulged in that genre, and while their educational value may be lower than the one of the focus-stacking shots, the best low-DoF flower photos are real artworks which have their value in themselves. Now this photo is not a perfect example – the background is a bit busy and I would prefer if at least the central part of the bud was perfectly crisp and sharp. But it’s not easy to achieve this (that’s another reason why really good low-DoF flower photos are indeed works of art ;–), therefore my moral support for this appealing photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:52, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am truly touched by your words on this photo Aristeas. Whether this photo becomes FP is a different issue. But I will certainly carry these encouraging words with me. God bless you. - Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 10:48, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! – Changed from ‘weak support’ to ‘support’ per Cmao20’s statement below. --Aristeas (talk) 05:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
