- Support Good quality, good composition --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 19:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support --Pudelek (talk) 21:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Tomer T (talk) 23:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose -- Sorry but I don't like the composition, with the dark leaf in the background. It would be much better without it. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:20, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose I too am not convinced by the composition. --Jovian Eye storm 14:21, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Don't like the angle at preview, but ended up liking the quality and this unusual choice of perspective overall. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 17:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Not the usual "fresh" state --Llez (talk) 10:24, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose IMO trivial, not aesthetically pleasing composition. —kallerna™ 19:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition doesn't work. Also, photographing a sad, wilted version of something that can be perfect and beautiful is "different" but no reason to feature. --Colin (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- Comment "Sad" and "wilted" one side, "perfect" and "beautiful" other side, are concepts we can discuss for ages without to find a consensus, IMO... --Jebulon (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- I guess I'm responding to Llez's support comment, but also trying to question why this photograph was taken/chosen -- it would be interesting to know what the photographer was trying for. The older sunflower head is interesting from the side but has been neither isolated successfully nor pleasantly surrounded by its background. The large dark leaf leads the eye away. The symmetry of the head is lost by it. The lighting is harsh. The camera has done its job admirably, but I see little other reason to feature a pic of a very common flower.

- Thanks for answer and very interesting explanations.--Jebulon (talk) 17:51, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
