There appears to be a glare here...

•  Neutral I like it, and would support, but there appears to be a glare, which I find distracting, if anyone can fix it I will change to support. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the glare makes the picture all the more wonderful but thanks for not being as outright oppositional as the guy who voted just above you! : ) NancyHeise@aol.com (talk) 19:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose I too think the glare is a bit distracting and the background blur seem a bit noisy, but it's a very beautiful image. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I appreciate your comments. I took a look at the present list of featured pictures of flowers and I guess I have a different view of what makes a good picture. Like Mozart, I like busy, however, the king thought his music had "too many notes". NancyHeise@aol.com (talk) 22:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

• Very regretful  Oppose The picture is beautiful, and the flower in the foreground gives it a special touch and a great composition. But the glare mentioned above is a show stopper. I really hope that someone will step in and photoshop it away! -- JovanCormac 11:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, I did not know that there was such aversion to glare in photos on this page. I rather liked the glare - its the sun voicing its approval of the flower's beauty! NancyHeise@aol.com (talk) 18:25, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
