I recently went to the United States Botanic Garden and took pictures of various flowers. I was hoping one (or several) of the pictures I took might be good enough for FP status. Rather than get input on each on separately, I thought it would be best to just put them up together on this page to see if anyone thought any of them had a chance. Any feedback you can give would also be helpful. Remember (talk) 17:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seven has a good chance. See what others think but I would nominate it. Elephantissimo (talk) 01:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In (7) the subject plant is out of focus in places. That is ok with you? What do you think of (6)? It stands out to me the most aesthetically, but I can't seem to decide. Fletcher (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm just going to brief since there's so many and I'm in a rush. Let me say first they're all nice and are certainly useful images. But as far as FPC goes, I'd say 1-5 are out for a variety of reasons (depending on the image - slightly cutoff, clashes with background, minor DOF issues). A real issue with 6 would be size - it only just scrapes into the minimum requirements, personally I think that would sink it for a flower. 7 is good, probably the biggest issue would be DOF as mentioned above, personally I don't think it's too bad though. 8 is quite OK, but even at image page size it seems quite noisy and the highlights on the flower look blown; I'm also not sure the background has come out quite as nice as you would hope. Anyway, good luck. --jjron (talk) 08:51, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
