Waterlily

Edit 2 - by Fir0002

This beautiful, blue waterlily is shown at the peak of its bloom. I'm pretty proud of how this pic turned out and I think that I finally have something worthy of becoming a Featuring Picture. This image can be found in the articles about Hodges Gardens, Park and Wilderness Area and Nymphaeaceae.

Oppose' weakly. Sorry, very nice pic, composition and subject, but it's out of focus. Lovely resolution though. And as an afterthought, I don't think userpages qualify for articles pics are used in ;). —Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 18:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I disagree with Vanderdecken. The photo is barely out-of-focus and only so at its highest resolution. Really great picture, actually. Dessie
- I could see it was out of focus from the thumbnail...—Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 17:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Out of focus and slightly grainy. --Pharaoh Hound 19:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. If one were to scrutinize every current FP, there would be many that are more out of focus than this. It's a pretty flower with good framing and color. --Preyquis 19:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit. The pale blue color of the petals is amazing. My edit was an attempt to address some of the concerns expressed above. I think it turned out nice, though it is slightly lower resolution. -- moondigger 23:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thank you SO MUCH Moondigger. The picture look marvelous.
Comment. Once again Fir0002, can you explain what changes you have made in your edit? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 10:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a brightened version of Edit 1. A little more saturated, too. -- moondigger 12:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support original or edit 1. (Oppose edit 2 - too bright.) --Janke | Talk 12:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)I[reply]

Support Excellent photo. Perfect angle, pedals are well-defined and vibrant colours. Excellent spacing and contrast- best photo of a water lily I've seen. Christine
Weak support edit 1 It's an alright photo, just wish the lily were a little more in-focus. --Mad Max 02:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose It is a very good photo, but it isn't all that exciting. It's just a plain picture of a flower. :) Froggydarb 08:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good picture. I like the detailed center and the bright colors.

Oppose Another close-up of a flower? The color is astonishing, but why does every other picture have to be a flower close-ups? Why can't it be a picture of the roots? The leaves? Or the rhizome? --Hecktor 20:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Excellent picture. Encylclopedic and informing- I think this is a great illustration of what a water lilly looks like in the center.
