Oppose Using a flash with flowers outdoors doesn't work. The flash make it look unnatural, Poco a poco (talk) 09:08, 28 July 2020 (UTC)- Support IMO could do with a tad more sharpening, but good quality and the flash doesn't make it look unnatural to me. Cmao20 (talk) 15:20, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Question: would you kindly elaborate on how the flash made it look "unnatural", Poco a poco, Podzemnik? I see no distorted colours, strong shadows, etc. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 15:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- I do see a bright subject with cooler colors then the darker and warmer background. To be honest, I wouldn't have come to the idea to use a flash for this image. Sometimes (bad lighting and moving subject) you are kind of forced to but it doesn't apply here. Just my opinion. --Poco a poco (talk) 16:52, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- I was shooting against the Sun. And since contre-jour was not the desired effect here, use of flash was inevitable. Normally, I'd just look for a better-lit subject, but this plant was the last late bloomer - they tend to flower earlier in the season. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:37, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- @The Cosmonaut: It just doesn't look natural to me. The conditions are sometimes unafavourable and even if you do your best to capture the best possible photo in that moment, it doesn't mean that it's a FP level. --Podzemnik (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Poco. Using some diffuser or reflector might have been better. I shot this against the sun and used a reflector, that way I could direct the light in a more pleasing way. --Cart (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. --Fischer.H (talk) 08:10, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
