Oppose Poor angle of view (a side view may far better), bad lights, disturbing OOF leaf in front. JKadavoor Jee 10:01, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- I would suggest to look more precisely: a) From a compositional viewpoint a front view is much better than a side view. There is one clear diagonal line going through the photo. I spent a whole day at the area around yellow Lady's-Slipper and believe be a side view is VERY boring from a photographic viewpoint. b) a central characteric of this flower is shown much better in a moderate front view: The stamen over the "slipper" has the function to attract insects that fall into the "slipper" and pollinate the flower during living the shoe. Isn't it striking that all photos on EN-WP or this botanic descriptions are front-views? c) Light: For me it is a nice backlit situation which brings out the texture of the flower very well. I respect your assesment but I think it was a bit hastily. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:24, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose The angle of view is good. The leafs in front can be cropped out. The problem is the light. You should have used a flash+disperser. Gidip (talk) 11:31, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose harsh light --Vamps (talk) 11:02, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination due to missing support. I like the photo (esepcially the light) very much, but obviously I am the only one :) --Tuxyso (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
