•  Oppose pretty, but yes, flowers are pretty and I don't see what lifts this picture above the countless other flower shots. --Dschwen (talk) 01:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment That's a good point. This photo shows the colors details of an Hydrangea macrophylla that grows in a soil with medium to high levels of acidity (low pH), which results in pale blue colors of the flowers (petals) rather than a vivid blue (that is a color commonly present in this kind of flowers along with pink and white colors).

•  Oppose - As Dschwen and no bells ringing Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Since you seem to be suffering from a lack of bells lately, I went and found you some. May they ring loud and clear for you. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 13:00, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the bells! The metaphor of the 'bells ringing' I heard it a long time ago in a motion picture with the meaning of 'being in love'... FP have both components: the technical and the artistic one. Some prefer saying 'no wow'-- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
    •  Comment At least some outstanding sense of humor between these harsh oppositions :D Tiago Fioreze (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
      • Well, you know what they say, there are two things you shouldn't ever lose; your sense of humour and your towel. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 15:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose The blue color is very nice but that's all what I like, I'am afraid. How about a picture with a comparrison - pale blue, pink and white colors ? Nicely arranged with perfect focus. --Richard Bartz (talk) 11:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral Not bad at all. I like the composition. But the DOF is insufficient IMO. -- MJJR (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose As MJJR but opposing. Lycaon (talk) 21:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Same opinions, different votes... how "unbiased" this is!!! Tiago Fioreze (talk) 07:53, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment There is no bias at all here. Same opinions, indeed: we both appreciate the qualities of the picture. But for Lycaon the lack of DOF is just a little bit more decisive than for me, I suppose. Hence the difference in the 'final judgement'. -- MJJR (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Exactly how it was meant. Lycaon (talk) 21:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral I really really like the composition and colour, only the dof is insufficient, :-( Maedin\^talk 21:20, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
