Oppose Looks unnatural; overly saturated, red channel appears severely blown. --Janke | Talk 13:45, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - On EV grounds, it looks like there is no article for this species, no mention of this species in the Nymphaea article at all. It seems like it's relegated into a gallery at the bottom of the page, with unclear species/variety identification. Mattximus (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Wait – Per Janke, Mattximus. – Sca (talk) 15:20, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Info I knew it, you will fail on WB issue. How about if I tell you its pretty much real ? Mattximus, Janke, Sca check for colors and taxonomy and don't miss there statement Water Lily blossoms vary greatly in color ...then revise your statement and vote. Its some hybrid sorte, and there ary many of them, so colors go as they go. And this is one is like depicted. WB is very good on this camera, don't worry (Dpreview: Reliable metering and white balance). Saturation wasn't lifted. Taxonomy was named by the profesional botanic which planted them. If any more doubt let me know. --PetarM (talk) 15:49, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Info New version uploaded, just stacked with focus on flower. Same colors, same composition, different lighting (clouds). --PetarM (talk) 16:37, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per Mattximus.--Godot13 (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not being technically expert, I'll reserve judgment & wait to see what experienced photogs say of new version. Sca (talk) 17:22, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
