Version 1 (left) - featured

•  Support --Alvesgaspar 10:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support good balance and colour harmony --Simonizer 11:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Picture of a leaf. Inspiring. ;-) Of course I'll support, since it's well done. Some might bicker about clipping the leaves, but I like the closeup. What were the chances of two featured picture candidates by two different people of the same species of plant? -- Ram-Man 12:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • That depends on the photo and not on the species --Simonizer 12:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support i like it!--Heidi 17:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC) - Sorry, no such user in Commons! - Alvesgaspar 15:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support -- MJJR 15:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support razorsharp, super colors --Makro Freak 22:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC) super means brilliant
•  Support better detail. ~ trialsanderrors 04:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral The leaves are clipped. Otherwise it is very well done.--Digon3 15:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Bergwolf 19:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- The leaves are clipped. Version 2 has more wow effect for me otherwise both do not seem to be FP material Charlessauer 17:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC).

Version 2 (right) - not featured

•  Support - Alvesgaspar 10:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support good balance and colour harmony. I like both versions --Simonizer 11:17, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Neutral Didnt notice the overblown white in the center before. --Simonizer 12:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose The composition is fine, but I don't like the overblown center. It's very distracting. -- Ram-Man 12:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral I prefer the left one -- MJJR 15:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support better composition. ~ trialsanderrors 04:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose This has better composition, but it also has the white in the center. --Digon3 15:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment I bet someone with exceptional photoshopping skills could take the center of the first image, place it overtop the second image, and then we could have both the composition and solve the exposure problem. It's the same exact flower, so it wouldn't be changing the nature of the image unethically. -- Ram-Man 15:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • You will be burned by Commons inquisition if you insist on such a proposal, eheheh!! There is a simpler way, which is to use an edit application and a mask to darken the bud. I'll try that, though I'm not good with photoshoping. Alvesgaspar 16:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Darkening it won't help, since you have already clipped the detail. I think that the inquisition will let it through, so long as the photoshopping is declared. -- Ram-Man 16:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll have a try at photoshopping it. Alvesgaspar, do you have any other photos similar to this? --Digon3 17:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

• Here it is a third version. Good luck! - Alvesgaspar 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
