Strong Support - Just by looking at this picture, I understand pollen better. It's also a very appealing shot in itself. --Iriseyes 15:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. Great picture by itself, but I don't think it illustrates the concept of pollenation exceptionally well (and it isn't used in any article currently). The pollen article has a better picture already in it. And I just added this one which shows pollen sticking to a bee. --Dschwen 16:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a picture that illustrates pollination (I can't see any on the bee). Needs cropping to get rid of extraneous background on left, right and above. Nice picture, though! - Adrian Pingstone 16:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. Nice picture. But I agree with Arpingstone, look at this FP: . Alvesgaspar 16:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Right, that's even better! --Dschwen 17:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose. I love the composition, but the blown highlights and the low DOF detract from the picture. NauticaShad e s 09:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Uhm, some blown highlights are unavoidable in any picture that has specular reflections and direct sunlight. Maybe this opposition reason should used a tiny bit more sparing ;-) --Dschwen 12:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Nice picture, but the existing images illustrate the concept better and I suspect there are a lot of shots of similar quality --YFB ¿ 02:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. The image shows the bee great, but I don't like the flower or the background much. – b_jonas 16:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
