- Purple Orchid, Orchidaceae, in the Tropical Greenhouse, Norfolk Botanical Garden, Norfolk, Virginia. I cropped it this way because I like the way it draws your eyes to the interesting center. All by me. PumpkinSky talk 03:40, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support -- PumpkinSky talk 03:40, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support Lovely colors. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:43, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose ... but the flower is not in focus. Charles (talk) 11:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Despite the claimed focus stacking, not much is in focus, and I'm not seeing any advantage to be gained for this composition to not having the flower in focus -- the eye is drawn to the throat of the flower which might have lovely patterns if we could see them sharply. The whole flower is not in the frame (and I can't see any artistic reason for the crop). Also at FP we expect the flower to be identified, not just "purple orchid" and categorised more specifically than to Category:Orchidaceae, one of the largest families of flowering plants with 28,000 species. -- Colin (talk) 12:15, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
