Weak oppose It’s a very good photo, it catches the weaves and folds of the plant’s head beautifully and is very well placed in the article. I think it comes very close to FP credibility: however, some of the plant’s head (particularly to the right) is out-of-focus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TehGrauniad (talk • contribs) 00:04, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (not to be negative...you do way more than I do.) FYI, I actually like that pic stuck down in gallery better for EV and even as a picture.TCO (reviews needed) 05:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment' In that case, the original image should be re-instated. Hariya1234 (talk) 07:38, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I meant I liked this pic [1] better. Now squashed down into gallery at the very bottom, it is the shot that tells me what the plant actually looks like a bit more. Should be up in the article somewhere, even if you use a "head shot" for the lead. I'm kind of down on our tight cropped bloom pictures. It would be one thing if they accompanied decent plant pics, but I really think they are leading to an attitude of pretty snapshot over EV illusttration or even thinking the plant is the flower.TCO (reviews needed) 14:53, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
