Original – Nymphaea odorata (Fragrant Water Lily) ssp. tuberosa with it's pads, a bud, and duckweed

Reason: This image offers a superb technical view of the species, objectively meeting criteria 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and it readily illustrates the unopened blossom, the plant's leaves, and the flower's petals, sepals, and stamens.

~~Comment~~ Oppose – Nice comp., but somehow (is it just my eyes?) the blossom itself seems a bit shy on detail. DOF? Sca (talk) 22:01, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not just your eyes. There is something very slightly unsatisfactory about the main focus of the picture, the centre of the flower. Not sure if it's blurriness, or lack of contrast, or some combination. 31.51.134.46 (talk) 23:07, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
