Oppose Blown highlights, messy background. --Janke | Talk 19:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Blown highlights? The only blown highlight area is of the sky in the background. The subject of the photo (the dahlia) is not blown out. — Kendra Michele — 19:43, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Poor photographic quality: noise, artifacts, unsharpness, lighting, composition, background. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:53, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Alvesgaspar -- Wadester16 (talk) 02:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the image in question is really noisy and do have a background which I don't believe suits for a featured picture, it should show more of the subject. --Kanonkas : Talk 09:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
