Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Calliandra emarginata

Reason: My first flower FPC. I consider this a high quality, high resolution photo of a Calliandra emarginata. Shows the detail of the flower well and cropped square to frame the spherical flower best.

Support Difficult to get a good depth of field on that type of flower. Nicely done. Durova^Charge! 04:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice, quite graphic but low on EV for this species, IMO; creativity over illustrative value. mikaul^talk 11:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support Could have probably squeezed a little more depth of field out of it with a slightly narrower aperture. Focus stacking wouldn't work with such a structure. The EV is there for Calliandra emarginata since the different members of the genus would mostly be differentiated by flower. I would have liked to see a bit more of the centre of the flower in focus, the stamens are the same wherever you look Noodle snacks (talk) 13:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
