  • Question: I notice many white barbs (or something) near the petals. Are those supposed to be pure white? They seem to have reflected the flash terribly. The tendrils on the bottom flower seem to have blown highlights, but it wouldn't influence my vote. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • If you check the EXIF, there's no flash used. Those white items probably are stem of another plant --Muhammad(talk) 16:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: I am curious as to what these white things are, but as noted by Muhammad there was no flash so they seem to be correctly coloured. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cropping a few pixels on the left would get rid of the intruding 2nd flower. --99of9 (talk) 00:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question what is the bright white threadlike thing that's in the middle of the center flower? Pinetalk 07:37, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Filament of stamens --Muhammad(talk) 17:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Support although that looks a little strange. Pinetalk 21:04, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, though I think you mean distracting :P. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Wonderfully detailed, aesthetically pleasing, encyclopedic shot. Nicely complements our other FP. Jujutacular talk 15:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
