•  Info Exemplar of Echeveria elegans, Munich Botanical Garden, Germany. All by me, Poco² 07:14, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support -- Poco² 07:14, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Is this the plant or the flower? --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 08:42, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

  This is the most fascinating of this plant to me and the reason why this species is my favourite: the plant has the form of a flower. In addition it does have also flowers. Poco² 16:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

  Wow, a beautiful and interesting plant. :-) --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 17:18, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

• Strong  Support I like this plant. ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 21:12, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Michael Barera (talk) 01:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special, normal good quality image, no reason for nomination. --Karelj (talk) 19:45, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment I like the plant, a lot; but the image itself seems flat. Even at full size, the highlights don't jump, the shadows don't contrast. Maybe it's just me. :) —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 03:29, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support Yes! You nailed it. :D —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 05:49, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Question Why not try a tricky AOV than flat overhead view (which also works; but rarely)? :) Jee 06:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Just my own opinion here. I prefer proper, serious overhead shots for flowers, unless you are shooting sidewards to show dew on the stamen, bees on the flower etc. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
    • I tend to dislike overhead, symmetrical shots of plants, although here it does seem justified to me. My only concern is whether a higher F number wouldn't have given better results. Gidip (talk) 16:36, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think I'm with Jee here. And when a overhead I think a little stack would work much better too increase the dof. Now the focus fits perfect but I miss more "deepness". --mathias K 15:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose The fact that the second circle of petals seems to be situated before the focus point is a bit problematic. It is a good image but if we add the fact that the subject does not distance itself from the background, certainly not your fault but... Christian Ferrer (talk) 09:02, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
