Reason: Well detailed image of the flower, making it easily identifiable, with good technical quality, and does not suffer from under or overexposure. It offers some scientific detail as well, with clear view to the reproductive organs, three of the four bracts, the top side and underside of the lily pads, developing lily pads, and venation on the underside of the lily pad is visible. A few stems of the lily pads are visible as well.

Oppose – Haloing, DOF, tight crop. Would love to see a shot like the previous nom with all details sharp. Sca (talk) 13:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Sca, not entirely sure what's wrong with the DOF, but there was only cropping on the top left and left sides. The flower was about 4 inches across, so I just got as close as possible.SanctuaryX (talk) 15:15, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not super-tight, but I really liked the more inclusive composition of the first nom. If you could just enhance the detailing. Can't advise re current digital photo tech – I'm an' ol' dog. (What would Monet do?) Sca (talk) 18:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
