I was fortunate to find the backup file of the original. Here is one without the innercrop.

I was considering cropping a bit less inward. However, it made the background more distracting with the unneeded extra materials (sticks, large rocks, etc.) ZooFari (talk) 05:32, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose poor composition, no biotop description.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 09:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I'v added detailed description in 3 languages. The composition, however, was the best I could do. ZooFari (talk) 23:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, the problem is that it is too cropped and not in golden angle. Thanks for the further description. Could you offer also the description of w:Biotope? It means if it grew in the water, wood, grassland, desert and what were the plants around. thx.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 08:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps you are right, and the reason it's cropped like that is because I removed the disturbing items (rocks, sticks, etc). Unforunatly, I don't have the original anymore. Also, the golden angle wasn't suitable for this flower, as it is an umbel flower. By the way, its a desert parsley and originally found in high altitudes of the deserts. I will get that added shortly.

Thank you very much for that editional information! Well, maybe you are right it could not be in the golden angle, but I think this couldnt be FP. But try to nominate it to Quality Picture.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 09:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. Regardless of the nomination, I would like to hear your opinion on whether I should keep the most cropped one or the alternative. After some consideration, I like it uncropped even though it can be a little more distracting. I might replace it, but I'd like to here from you. Also, for some reason the alt has better lighting (???) Maybe I made an editing misglance. Thanks ZooFari (talk) 02:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the new one is quite distracting, errr worse quality. What about to replays the bacground by black in the nominated one. I dont think so the first one nor the second one are good enough for FP at this time. Sorry.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 23:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
