•  Oppose Lighting not ideal and insufficient contrast with background. Stacking error (where bug has moved) and blurred area (see note) Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:52, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment That is not a stacking error, but an insect that I deliberately left behind. Of course, I can still remove the insect. I also have a strong suspicion that you have something against me or my photos.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

• I judge on quality alone. Unfortunately, I vote against your compositions if subject, choice of background and skill at editing post-stacking are not always FP standard. Here there are multiple shadows of the insect which needs to be cleaned up by selecting the one image of the stqck that has the insect sharp — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesjsharp (talk • contribs) 06:56, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Technically OK, but parts of the subject are merging with the background. No wow for me either, doesn't really "work" as an image. --El Grafo (talk) 07:55, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
•  Neutral Very good quality, but also per El Grafo. -- -donald- (talk) 08:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose per El Grafo. -- Karelj (talk) 12:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
•  Comment This bud has a big brown colored damaged area, imo thats why it doesn't look nice. -- Ivar (talk) 11:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

• Thank you for your comment. I did not see this comment coming. So you see how tastes can differ. There were several flower buds of this size. Perfectly green. I specifically chose this button with brown weathering to get a nice contrast with the green environment where the plants were. Otherwise I thought the overall picture was too green. too boring. In general, I find a weathered color contrasting color more interesting.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

  You had the right idea, but I think it kind of backfired. I guess my problem with that is that now there's more contrast within the subject than between the (green parts of the) subject and the background. In a way, that makes it more difficult to identify the subject and separate it from the background. El Grafo (talk) 06:19, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
