•  Support A bit noisy but very nice. --Hockei (talk) 16:35, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I love the "japanese" way, and the background. Noise very acceptable, a delicate photograph.--Jebulon (talk) 16:38, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support per Jebulon, although I would say the style and "painting technique" is Chinese. ;-) --Cart (talk) 17:49, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - I think closer crops that remove more of the empty space could be argued for, but I don't find that a reason not to support. Beautiful and delicate per others, and the noise is really minimal, to the point of not being worth a mention. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:11, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Question Is this turned by 180°? I know this plant only with hanging flowers. --Berthold Werner (talk) 09:59, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

• That hardly matters since plants can be photographed from any angle, like the two currently nominated water lilies as opposed to the previously FPs. (1 2 and 3) Creativity is good. --Cart (talk) 11:18, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

• • Yes, ceativity is good. But IMHO photographs in an encycolpedia should show flowers as they are in reallity. --Berthold Werner (talk) 11:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

• This is equvalent to having a flower cut and placed in a bouquet or flower arrangement where no flowers are in their natural alignment, but still good to photograph. And as stated so many, many times before: Commons is not just to service Wikipedia with photos, but for all wiki-projects as well as other projects, present and future. All good photos are welcome. (FP general rules section 7: 7.Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.) There are presently 12 other wiki-projects and this would make a wonderful cover for a Wikibook. --Cart (talk) 12:30, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support ok, I agree to Cart and found the answer to my question here: File:Schlumbergera - Flickr - blumenbiene (1).jpg --Berthold Werner (talk) 12:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment Just for clarity. This is an ascending plant with sturdy leaves with the flower on it.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:50, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - I love this. Others said it above, but it looks like a painting. I think a lot of it comes down to not just the angle/composition of the plant itself, but the contrast between the color of the flower and this particular background color. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:42, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- B2Belgium (talk) 20:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support per Cart, although I could see cropping a lot of the space at left and top out. Daniel Case (talk) 20:40, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
