Clematis terniflora seed cluster

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 6 Dec 2017 at 05:02:46 (UTC)

Original – Sweet autumn clematis (Clematis terniflora) seed cluster - each seed having a white 'tail' that will become feathery as the seed dries - the better to be dispersed on the wind

Reason: good composition, in focus, makes the viewer want to know more; is important to the Clematis terniflora article.

Oppose - Background is distracting; blown highlights on several strands. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:54, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Great EV, but not FP quality, especially with the background. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:02, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unnatural background - one would assume the seeds mature on the plant, not on faux leather... --Janke | Talk 08:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn First attempt at FP. Yes, out of focus as away from center. Background was chosen to provide contrast to seed cluster details. On plant, overlapping layers of seed clusters make it near-impossible to photograph just one. See image at Clematis terniflora for example. David notMD (talk) 15:59, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment David, don't be discouraged, please keep submitting candidates! Contributions are always welcome, but the criteria at FPC are pretty tough - look at actual FPs to get an idea of what is expected! Regards, --Janke | Talk 13:19, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
