  • Oppose Technical problems mostly. Blown highlights on most of the flowers in the blue channel, not very sharp even with heavy downsampling, a narrower aperture may help, but there is quite visible motion blur. Composition is a tad "cut off" at the bottom too. Since you are probably between a rock and a hard place with higher ISO performance I'd probably recommend a cheap tripod and the countdown timer on a still day to get a sharp shot.

  • Oppose per Noodle snacks, especially because of composition issues described above, as well as some technical ones. SpencerMerry Christmas! 02:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
