•  Info Orchis. (Dactylorhiza maculata subsp. maculata) Plant in the Netherlands is on the red list. created by Famberhorst - uploaded by Famberhorst - nominated by -- Famberhorst (talk) 10:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment Quality and DoF is fine. I would personally crop a bit tighter at the top. Unfortunately the crossing blade of grass in the background massively distracts the composition - what a pity! --Tuxyso (talk) 10:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment That blade of grass is indeed somewhat disturbing. Would you show me how to crop?--Famberhorst (talk) 11:02, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Note added. I don't know if it is really better. Just as an idea. --Tuxyso (talk) 11:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment Please add a description. Identification needed. Yann (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

 Done cropped and identification. --Famberhorst (talk) 19:02, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

•  Neutral/ Comment The plant itself looks great, but the background/bokeh is a bit too busy for my taste (compare it with e.g. this one). Given the overall quality, this is not distracting enough to really justify a "contra", but I don't feel comfortable giving a pro either. --El Grafo (talk) 10:59, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
