- Oppose Botanically very interesting (so are a lot of your pictures, BTW), but insufficient quality for FP. Lighting is not good and contrast is lacking. Also you should always try to snap the best specimen, because here with the withered flowers, it reduces the value of the picture. Lycaon 08:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Question Given that some flowers are not withered, does it reduce the botanical value of the shot that some flowers are? Regards, Ben Aveling 10:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Lighting may be discussed. I admit it. But for withering, as you can see on this picture, petals usually remain attached to the fruit. The flowers of an inflorescence do not open exactly at the same time : when the last ones open, the first ones have already turned brown. So, I also defend this picture particularly for its "botanical honesty".--B.navez 14:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
