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.
  • Nominate and support. - Alan 09:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • 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 Blurred all over (including the flower) - Adrian Pingstone 22:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Agree with Phoenix --Fir0002 www 23:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. barely focused. pschemp | talk 05:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • 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)
