~~Oppose~~. I like the image, but I don't think the encyclopedic value is strong enough, since no information is given about what cultivar this is which natural species it is derived from.--ragesoss (talk) 22:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note in the image description "Leucospermum glabrum x L. tottum". This means it is a cross between Leucospermum glabrum and Leucospermum tottum. I have updated the cultivar article to reflect this. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks. I didn't notice that on the image page, because I was looking at the edited version (which was never updated with the cultivar). Support, prefer edit.--ragesoss (talk) 22:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Prefer edit 1, good sharpness and low noise. The black point could have been adjusted differently as the shadows are

clipped in places, but I don't think it really matters. The depth of field isn't perfect, but no detail is missing and a narrower aperture would make the background more distracting. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 per Noodle Snacks. Good picture. :) Intothewoods29 (talk) 20:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest to make edit 2 I like the original image, but prefer the brighter background of Edit 1. So could you please make an additional image with the brighter background and the original tone of the flower?--Caspian blue 00:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What? I only see the Original and Edit one... ??? Intothewoods29 (talk) 02:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fix my writing. --Caspian blue 02:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have neither the skills nor time to oblige with this proposed edit sorry. Flying Freddy (talk) 08:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, you are not obliged to make an additional edit by my suggestion. However, you adjusted the level of the original, so adjusting the background only is not that hard for you.--Caspian blue 11:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you would be willing to link me to information on how to selectively adjust part of the image easily then I would be happy to oblige -- Flying Freddy (talk) 13:58, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, photoshop lesson 1, you may understand "layer" function, and have Photoshop CS3. You just go to the "layer" on the topbar, and then choose "new adjustment layer". After then, you pick the green from the color bar, and adjust "black". The amount of blackness would be adjusted by sliding the tiny knot.[1] If you need more help, just let me know.--Caspian blue 22:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
