 * Even if it did meet those criteria, it would have almost no chance of passing due to the technical flaws in it's lighting, that part of the flower is cropped off, and not showing any vegetation of the plant. So I move to Speedy Close — raeky  t  08:08, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Close Too little of this picture is in focus. The edge of the left (from the top petal) petal, along with the bottom in the right corner and the one above so all fall out of focus (some more than others) towards the ends of the leaves. In the background is the stem, which shouldn't necessarily be in focus, would be a better detail to have than to not have. The focus of the photo seems to be less the flower and more the pollination tendrils sprouting from the center, a bottommost of which falls out of focus similarly to the petals of the flower. The blackground of the photograph is very distracting because of several marks on the wall or other material of which it consists (crop, blend). Where was this picture taken? There is a good few inches of unnecessary space to the left of the flower. Finally, the uppermost petal is cut off at the top (cropping issue, may I presume?) and should be fixed if possible. ---Saw1998 (talk) 00:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
