I like the image and it's of good size, and I want to see if it's of featured picture quality.

  • The main issue here would be the grain. Some noise reduction might help. MER-C 06:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Cropping the empty space below the flowers would also help. Lipton sale (talk) 02:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • It's a cool picture; I think it's fine quality-wise, but cropping it is a good idea. Elephantissimo (talk) 00:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I edited the image, but maybe someone can do a better job? :) --AutoGyro (talk) 23:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Sorry, don't have time to comment at length, however to be brief I don't find this ideal compositionally. The new crop is just too tight all around (the original was actually too tight on top and left to start with; incidentally, if you are going to crop as tight as you have at the bottom, you really should crop the right of image as well to the edge of the foreground flowers, so at least the crop is balanced on the two main flowers). I wonder if you have a version not so tight to the edges? The other area I think this may suffer in is that the two main flowers are overlapping, and the flowers in the background also 'overlap' onto the main flowers. People tend to be pretty harsh on flowers at FPC and my personal feeling is that they would jump on those things. I could be wrong - plenty of others seem to like this, but just thought you should be alert to these possible concerns. The detail etc on these particular flowers is very good though. --jjron (talk) 10:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
