Original – Viburnum × bodnantense buds in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Reason

Nice spring buds of Viburnum × bodnantense in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I like the color and sharpness contrast between subject and background.

• Comment - Lots of empty space at the bottom. Might be worth cropping. Also, I'd prefer a non-crossbred specimen to illustrate Viburnum. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:40, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination Personally, I like the composition, contrasting the colors and the sharp lines of the leaves in the background with the softer subject. That said, it's a good point that the composition doesn't add to the EV (probably lessens it, since the leaves are from a different plant), and that the EV is hurt by it being a hybrid. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:04, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
