 * Reason:okay let's try this again. This is a less cropped version, showing the striking yellow flowerhead against the vivid blue sky with some ant pollinators trawling though the flowers. Left in this time are part of an old flowerhead and leaves to the left to add to the EV. Previous nomination: Featured picture candidates/Banksia lindleyana.

 * Weak Support. Good EV, and passable quality. Nautica Shad es  18:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Passable quality, per Nautica. Ants crawling on it definitely add EV in my opinion.  Jujutacular  T · C 02:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support, as above. J Milburn (talk) 10:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, would like to see at least the Genus of the ants identified though... are these flowers pollinated by these ants and if so is it a specific monotype that does it? — raeky ( talk 21:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I have not seen any literature on the genus of ants which visit this banksia (or any banksia) and am not an entomologist. I can ask a n expert to take a look and see if they can identify to genus level at least. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment would it make sense to incorporate this somewhere in Banksia.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say no, Banksia is already heavily illustrated. If the ant's species can be identified and it's a primary polinator for this species of flower, then the image would be relevant for the ant's Genus/Species page possibly. — raeky ( talk 21:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Below our current standards, due to shallow DoF, harsh lighting, and vignetting.  Room for improvement in the composition, too.   Mae din\ talk 15:57, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It was in a desert where I took the photo, hence I sorta felt the lighting reflected that. Erm, how would you rejig the composition? can't do much about DoF I concede...Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
