~~Oppose~~ - It's a lovely composition, but not enough of the plant is in focus - just a single flower, even at preview size. For an FP, we need a lot more depth of field, at least as far down as the nearest leaves, preferably farther. Could you have another go at it? Adam Cuerden ^talk 15:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, the focus is to be on the flower head. I've added a shot with less distracting other stuff. The shots are at f/22 already (EXIF data was lost from uploads due to using raw files). —Pengo 22:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm. I could support the crop, but is there no way to get more of the plant in focus somehow? Adam Cuerden ^talk 23:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Not really, unless focus stacking tricks were used, or the angle of the photo was very different. The photo was already with a small aperture (f/22). Also the subject is in a different city to me. Besides ... having the leaves in focus would mess with the composition :). —Pengo 02:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Arright then! Support 2. Sorry to be difficult =) Adam Cuerden ^talk 14:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support the second picture, the one with a tighter crop. Excellent picture, I hope I'll take pics of similar quality some day (re my rocoto pic below ;)) Luca 19:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
