Original – Saussurea obvallata, also known as bramha kamal in India, blossoms once a year and is a rare sight.

Reason: I think it meets all the criteria for a FP.it is of high standard and has sufficently large resolution.It is highly detailed and is under free license.Adds value to the brahma kamal article.Its description is complete and is not manipulated.Also its verifiable.

Oppose. Sorry, but this really is not up to the standard of flower FPs. Compare it to others in the category. Further, there seems to be something going on with the image's orientation, but that may just be me. J Milburn (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sorry, composition and lighting could be better. :- ) DCS 20:15, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, sorry. I actually really like the composition - it makes a refreshing change from "flower in a field". But technically it's just not up to it - it's not sharp, it has too much noise, and there's colour-fringing and jpeg compression artifacts. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
