Oppose Shallow DOF & somewhat messy composition - partly cut-off. It also looks like the flower is past its prime. I think you can easily shoot a much better photo. --Janke | Talk 09:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose lacks sufficient focus and sharpness. chowells 15:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, the bad things about this picture:

It doesn't really have a large enough resolution

The stigma isn't really more clear than in any other photograph of a flower

Nothing is in focus

Oppose Blurred all over (including the flower) - Adrian Pingstone 22:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Try retaking the picture from a greater angle from the ground, and try reducing the size of your aperture, Covington 06:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
