  • My feeling would be that some of the comments I made re that flower gallery below would probably also apply here. I just find that flowers that blend into other flowers in the background like this one does tend to get a hard run at FPC. Now it may be possible that this is just the way these flowers grow, but I don't really get that impression, although looking at the other images in the article it appears this may be the case - so it would be a matter of convincing voters of this. The other concern (and admittedly I have only viewed at image page size) is that the lower petals on the main flower look a little 'blown' - possibly harsh flash reflection? --jjron (talk) 14:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
