Review (criteria)	Comment The name of the genus is not enough, it is necessary to find the full name. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)  Comment Another try. -- Jim Evans (talk) 02:18, 15 March 2021 (UTC)  Comment The name of the species is missing and you should have put the image in the correct category that I had to rename. But there is one problem: this image is much better 2020-09-11 11 22 01 Red Rocket Crape Myrtle flowers along Tranquility Court in the Franklin Farm section of Oak Hill, Fairfax County, Virginia.jpg. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:23, 15 March 2021 (UTC)  Question I don't understand what we are after here. Your "much better" choice may be better for the plant, but my scope is only for the inflorescence and my example best illustrates the inflorescence as all Crepe Myrtles appear in my locale. -- Jim Evans (talk) 16:17, 15 March 2021 (UTC)  Comment I may be looking at things the wrong way, but the individual flowers seem clearer at the size on the file page of the photo Archaeo linked. But are you saying there is a different variety of crepe myrtle in your locale? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)  Comment I am saying I believe the conical-to-pyramidal shape of the flowers in this picture are the classic shape of a Crape Myrtle inflorescence. This one just being more perfect than most. [[1]], [[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]] -- Jim Evans (talk) 19:49, 15 March 2021 (UTC)  Question I understand your point. Archaeodontosaurus, what do you think about the shapes of inflorescences? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:06, 16 March 2021 (UTC)  Comment Multiple clipping anomalies, Poor color and contrast management (see note on picture) --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)  Question OK, but what about the shape of the inflorescence? Is the other one a meaningfully different variation of shape, if you get my question? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:07, 16 March 2021 (UTC) There are more or less dense inflorescences, the general shape of which depends on the individual in his mode of growth. Here it is very dense to the point that you cannot see the flowers well. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)  Support I agreed and made a similar remark above, but I think the latest version is best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)  Oppose oversaturated and processing errors. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC) Fixed Redid the image -- Jim Evans (talk) 20:54, 16 March 2021 (UTC)  Question @Archaeodontosaurus: Did this fix it satisfactorily? -- Jim Evans (talk) 10:00, 18 March 2021 (UTC)  Support Is fine. But what a shame not to have done it before. Take care of your work a little and everything will be simple. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.
