Bauhinia blakeana


Bauhinia blakeana flower is the symbol of Hong Kong. I took this picture by myself in Hong Kong. The good thing about this picture:
 * It has a large-enough resolution.
 * The angle allows people to examine the stigma of the flower.
 * Only the flower itself is focused.

 * Oppose Shallow DOF & somewhat messy composition - partly cut-off. It also looks like the flower is past its prime. I think you can easily shoot a much better photo. --Janke | Talk 09:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose lacks sufficient focus and sharpness. chowells 15:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose out of focus. Mikeo 19:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose, the bad things about this picture:
 * It doesn't really have a large enough resolution
 * The stigma isn't really more clear than in any other photograph of a flower
 * Nothing is in focus

 * Oppose. Try retaking the picture from a greater angle from the ground, and try reducing the size of your aperture, Covington 06:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
