Oppose Bad photo, doesn't appear in any articles and doesn't even identify the flower so it has no value. Capital photographer (talk) 07:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I recently had to switch out a Delta Rocket image because of this contest. I am truly, honestly and obviously using the situation of this failing image to editorialize, in so many definitions of that word, if not all of them. There have been occasionally the suggestion in the reviews here that the nominated image here was not the best image for the articles it appeared in; I appreciate that others take the time to look into that situation -- but what a pain! And none of that is part of this review system. Where is the clean up section? Feel free to not count my vote here; I did "acknowledge the minimum requirements exist", I did not ignore them though. -- carol (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the reality of flora photographs, this is really pretty good. It does need the 90 degree rotation, what makes it a little better than just a perfectly sharp, awesome, wowful macro photograph of a flower is that it contains the seed pod. -- carol (talk) 12:03, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Added 90 degree tilt and placed in article. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a lineReview Me! 12:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, it is 270 degrees rotated (clockwise is positive -- should be interesting to see how the word 'clockwise' gets redefined as the world becomes more and more digital. Those digital watches and displays on cellphones -- pretty cool, eh? -- carol (talk) 13:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
