Comment The out-of-focus bloom in the bottom left is distracting. Crop the photo so it focused more on the single bloom, and that should improve the composition. As is, I'm afraid I can't support it. --Asiir 23:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose – I want to support the picture but as per Asiir, the bottom left bloom detracts from the whole image. Centy – reply• contribs – 15:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The blue fringing on the blooms is distracting. I tried cropping the image to remove the out-of-focus bloom, but no go...the resulting crop was way too tight. CillaИ ♦ XC 17:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
