•  Oppose The background is too dark, sorry. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 21:22, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I disagree with THFSW. A dark background looks very good to me, especially for a clear (and very sharp) subject. But shame of the cut off leave...--Jebulon (talk) 21:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Agree with Jebulon on the dark background. But not on the sharpness, the subject seems quite blurred to me. Which is a shame because the composition is nice. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 01:23, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
  • It's not blurry, it's a bunch of clusters of white flowers with white stigmas and yellowish stamens and centers. If you look closely the stems are pinkish with white fuzz that I thought was captured very well considering. I know CFPC is very critical of these types of images, but I thought you guys would appreciate the dark background giving deep contrast to the bright flowers. --IdLoveOne (talk) 02:56, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Okay, you convinced me , and I appreciated the contrast between white flowers and dark background enough to support the nomination --Mbz1 (talk) 04:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
