•  Oppose Harshly lit and background way too distracting to come anywhere near the high bar we've set for flower pictures. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose - The lighting doesn't bother me, but I totally agree with Daniel about the background. Beautiful flower, though, so I hope to see another photo of it here in the future. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:49, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

• This is the habitat of this plant. A few more photos available here. Note that it grows only above 1300amsl and only on sloppy hills; very difficult to climb with a tripod. Just information, not arguing; as usual. Jee 09:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the info. I understand the challenge. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

• Weak  Oppose This flower looks so dainty, it really does not deserve the harsh light of a flash for its portrait. I don't mind the background as it is its natural habitat. However, the usual effects created by a single flash do indeed disturb me here; sorry. --AWeith (talk) 22:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Thanks all; I got the points. Jee 02:40, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
