  • Question Could you specify what parts you cloned out? I haven't looked at it with my graphics app (which would zoom properly), but I don't really see anything that looks cloned over, or that would need to be. Matt Deres (talk) 14:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I think people tend to overcompensate with white objects in order to avoid the dreaded "blown highlights" oppose and end up with unappealing greys (as in this photo IMO). This is a white white flower and should appear as white as possible without actually blowing highlights. I've tried to address this in Edit 1 which has brightened the petals without blowing them (you can check the histogram if you don't believe me). Anyway weak oppose original and alternative due to: noise; harshly lit and distracting background; off whites and only mediocre sharpness. As a easily reproducible flower shot, it really has to be of exceptional quality to be worthy of being considered an FP. Neutral edit 1 of alt since it could only address some of these issues. --Fir0002 00:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
