  • @Archaeodontosaurus: Fixed scope. HalfGig talk 01:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
    • Look at the scope changes. It is a cultivar it must be said in the scoop that must be reduced to what you show: flowers. For me the picture seems too small for the label. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:02, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
      • Archaeodontosaurus, it looks like the scope is OK now. Do you agree? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:31, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
        • Yes, the scope is correct. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
• OK, let's discuss which photo is best in this scope. File:Prunus salicina.jpg, a good photo, gets disqualified because of writing on its upper left corner. As I see it, the remaining contenders are this photo and File:Starr 080302-3152 Prunus salicina.jpg. This one is more of a closeup, but I like the fact that the flowers are shown in a clearer context in the other one. So why is this one best in scope? Just because it's the closest closeup? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:30, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
  • File:Starr 080302-3152 Prunus salicina.jpg is good, but what I don't like about it is that the petals pretty much cover up the internal parts of the flowers. In File:SantaRosaPlumBlossoms.jpg it's not just that it's more of a closeup, but the photo lets you see the flower parts much better because the flowers are open. You both agreed the scope was correct after Archaeodontosaurus tweaked the scope with this diff, specifying the Santa Rosa cultivar; which disqualifies File:Starr 080302-3152 Prunus salicina.jpg because it is a Burgundy cultivar (see its description), not a Santa Rosa cultivar.
