• Oppose. Snapshotty lighting, and for a flower shot (static subject, intrinsically pretty) the picture should have more artistic merit than this (goes for the alt too). --Dschwen 19:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose both Lack of a cultivar name or location information reduces EV. --Melburnian (talk) 08:24, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
• Question I would welcome an explanation of what are the flaws of the lighting in this picture. What is wrong and in what way it could be better? For me this is one of those moments in which I really don't see what is going on and I feel I would learn a lot new things if someone explains me a little.
