•  Comment I won't oppose, but while I really like the flower, most of the photo doesn't really do anything for me, so I think there's too much background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

I try to use rule of thirds here, I don't understand when apply it Ezarateesteban 12:52, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

• Perhaps you can crop it a bit, to i) reduce the amount of background; and ii) get rid of that partially in focus leaf on the right. I've added a possible crop as an image note. Regarding the Rule of Thirds, I would merely take it as a cue to experiment with different compositions, rather than a prescription with strict proportions. -- Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:47, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

• Thirds are unimportant when like 7/8 of the composition has no interesting content. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

• See Commons:Photography terms#Rule of thirds -- Colin (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose As I said on QI, you have not divided into thirds. You can check out purpose of rule of thirds online e.g. Wikipedia. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don’t understand the composition with the main subject in one corner, filling the rest of the frame with uninteresting leaves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kreuzschnabel (talk • contribs)

•  Comment Crop proposed per Julesvernex2 Ezarateesteban 16:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

• Ezarate, personally I would crop it slightly more at the top (so that the flower is at an equal distance from the left and top borders), and less at the bottom (so there's a more balanced proportion of background to the right and to the bottom of the flower). -- Julesvernex2 (talk) 16:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Question What's wrong with the crop? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:42, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

• I prefer it centred. I can see no reason for the offset. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:37, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Works for me, too. --Aristeas (talk) 08:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry but per Charles, there is no reason not to centre the flower. It is trying to be different for the sake of being different. The subject rewards a centred composition most of all. Cmao20 (talk) 23:37, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose A nice picture, and a nice, sharp flower, but I don't get the composition. I don't mind when a subject is offset, but there should be a reason for it. If the reason is to show the stem/leaves, they largely get lost in the background, and the center of attention is too close to the corner either way. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  12:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
