 * Oppose -- Blown highlights on the petals (they are very white, not textured) and the framing leaves a little to be desired. I'd want some more head room around the plant; right now it seems cut off at both the top and bottom. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:11, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose both per overexposure. Darkening the picture doesn't fix the loss of detail that happened when the original was overexposed. Clegs (talk) 17:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose per above, and because the busy, detailed background prevents the viewer to distinguish the plant from the rock very well.  Spencer T♦ C 03:19, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose both good EV, and the background is OK because it shows this organism in its regular habitat according to the article, but the image lacks sharpness when viewed at full size. Pinetalk 08:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
