Oppose - I'd love to see some remark from you on what you believe makes this an FP, but for the time being, I am unfortunately going to oppose. The red flower is pretty, sure, but what about the rest of the picture? The lighting doesn't seem special to me, and what do the unsharp leaves in the foreground add to the picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your question Ikan. I simply like the picture and the exotic flower and believe others will judge if it is a FP. In regard to the "unsharp leaves" I think and know that in photography unsharp foreground and background can help to emphasize the main object. Than the result is only matter of taste and composition. Btw the lighting of this picture is not too bad imo, I believe it is rather intriguing.

- Thanks for your reply, and I understand your reasoning. Yes, the flower itself is well lit. But the brightest part of the picture is probably a blurry part of a branch and leaves below it. We'll see what others think, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:18, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per Ikan. The color is a little washed out and the composition way too cluttered. Daniel Case (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
