A unique photo of a Chihuly glass sculpture in the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, FL. Cannot be retaken as the exhibit was taken down in May.

 * Oppose - nice sculpture but the top is cutoff with the current framing and the shadows greatly detract from the overall impression - Peripitus (Talk) 04:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Spectacular sculpture. I am sorry that the lighting was not right as this is a fatal flaw in my opinion. Once something is made into a jpeg, it becomes very hard to brighten shadows, something that is hard even on a raw image. Trying to get detail where there is none in a picture usually results in heavy noise. HighInBC 15:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A neat subject but unfortunately all the shadows are way too distracting. --Nebular110 15:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
