- Comment I haven't viewed full size yet but DOF seems really small. What was the size of the flowers? --Muhammad(talk) 13:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- I took a vernier with me whilst I went to water some of my seedlings. About 10mm. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:37, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- I would like to support but currently the image is used in only 1, one line article. I fail to see sufficient EV. --Muhammad(talk) 07:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Its in three now, which is at least as much corresponding article as File:Tachysphex specie edit1.jpg, for example. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- Support DOF isn't that much of an issue to me. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 14:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Support. DOF is adequate, IMO. Beautiful picture. (Also, glad to see the CC license rather than GFDL 1.2-only). BTW, I've started doing some wildflower photography myself, although most of my pictures are terrible so far. Kaldari (talk) 20:10, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Not that this is relevant to the nom at all, but I like this one. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 05:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I think if the background weren't so distracting, I might nominate that one. I guess I need to learn more about lighting so I can get those dark backgrounds. 98.193.167.252 (talk) 16:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Usually fast shutter speeds with small apertures and flash lighting produce those dark backgrounds. Personally, I don't like them though --Muhammad(talk) 17:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Quite right and the iso has an effect too. File:Unknown Pinaceae Cones 3800.jpg for example lets in quite a bit of light. Really Depends on how distracting the background is. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:16, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- Question - I have to know though: Are the water droplets natural or spray-on? :) 98.193.167.252 (talk) 16:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- The plant is outdoors, and it was rained on. Though I'm not sure how natural H2O varies from natural H2O :D Noodle snacks (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
