Weak oppose [original] Well-composed and fairly large, but a good portion of the flower is blown completely to white. Sorry.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 12:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sincerest apologies, but you are wrong, please make some measurements or look at a histogram. http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot221.jpg has the histogram and a sample. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - So the values are in the low 240s instead of 255, correct? However, they look blown (although perhaps not completely blown) to the eye. Ultimately, people and not machines will look at this image, many of whom who have minimal photographic experience. They won't bother to check the histogram, just be distracted by a blob of (off-)white in the middle of the image. I will, however, keep an open mind and watch this nom closely.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 12:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support edit Good quality but as I mentioned above, I prefer natural backgrounds where possible. --Muhammad(talk) 18:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
