Comment - I'm not sure what to think about this photo, so I'll just describe it: The flower, which is at the middle of the picture frame, is very clear at full size - which is way bigger than life-sized - except for the outermost parts of the petals, which are still clear. The crumpled-up blue/purple flower at around 10 o'clock past the flower is moderately clear. Leaves are visible, but the rest of the photo is pretty much of a blur. I guess the photo is OK, overall, at full-page size, but I'm not really sure what the blurry ground adds to it, other than a general sense of place. I suppose others will consider that this picture should be featured because it's such a clear photo of the flower, and for an encyclopedia, that's good enough. I'd probably prefer a very close-cropped photo that concentrates on the flower and eliminates most of the blur, but I suspect most other reviewers on this site would consider that a bad composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 26 January 2016 (UTC)- Support But I, too, believe the image could be cropped in from the sides without any loss.

- Support Ordinary subject but very well-taken with high EV. It needs a square crop though; the sides aren't doing anything for the image. -- Thennicke (talk) 06:50, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
