•  Question There are dark outlines to many of the leaves and petals - are they natural of have they appeared during processing? Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:49, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

• Thank you for your question. The sun shone on the flower bud at an angle from the left. The dark parts are the shadows that arose as a result. The background is pure nature and creates a beautiful bokeh.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:45, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment looks like postprocessing issue to me and some parts of the flower are out of focus. -- Ivar (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Done. New version. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Support -- We have understandably high standards for "among the best photos on the site," but I don't think everything has to be completely sharp for a photo to be great and deserving. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:22, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
