•  Support -- Ram-Man 03:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose While this is a well exposed sharp flower photo I fail to see a wow factor. The light isn't all too favorable as well. -- MichaD 14:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Direct sunlight can increase contrast (improving depth perception and detail) in the whites, like in this image by Tony Wills. I used a fill flash to balance out the harsh shadows. -- Ram-Man 14:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • While it's true that the petals benefit from the contrasty light the dark shadow beneath the blossom distracts me. A reflector could probably have helped there. -- MichaD 15:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, maybe I should invest in one :) -- Ram-Man 16:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Or build one with some cardboard and aluminum foil. Cheap and works :-) --Dschwen 16:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
        • As a guest of the garden I was at, being the only one with a tripod also made me a bit of a freak. I can only imagine what a reflector would make me look like. Thanks for the advice though, as I had never really even considered this as an option. -- Ram-Man 16:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment - I don't see the point, for me the white texture of the flower (even with the mild shadow) is the most beatiful thing in the picture. - Alvesgaspar 23:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Wrong composition and framing. Flower should be at the left side of the image (this way it seems to be escaping form the photo) and the picture should show a little more of green. A shame, because the flower is beatiful and technical quality excellent. - Alvesgaspar 21:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral a plus for the whites, a minus for the composition. -- Lycaon 21:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
