Orchid hybrid Dactylorhiza × braunii
My question is since 7 years: why is the sharpness of the whole image the most important thing in FP? Shall the photographer excuse an image for example because it is a rarity? Ok I give reasons for this image. This image shows one of the rarest plants worldwide. There is only a little number of habitats worldwide. For example: Great Britain has 6 habitats, Ireland 2 habitats, Bavaria 1 habitat. The Global Biodiversity information Facility says: there are only 11 number of occurences by 8 data providers in europe. The place of each habitat is a secret. Only this secret safeguards the survive. I think nearly nobody of the visitors of FP will see in his own life this rare plant in the own habitat. This was my reason to show this 25 years old image. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 17:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
