Jonquil Flowers

Alternative Versions: Image:Jonquil10.jpg, Image:Jonquil12.jpg, Image:Jonquil flowers at f5.jpg

Nominated a year ago, this picture had a final tally of 3/1. Since it didn't reach the minimum of 4 support votes it failed it's nomination. I still feel that this is a worthy image, so I resubmit (with two alternatives for extra choice)

Weak Oppose - Flowers are pretty. Only one of them is clear and it's not even in the center of the picture and it has shadow and water droplets on it. The other flowers are blurred out slightly, if not entirely. --Hecktor 08:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I find the droplets/off center a good thing. But that's just my taste. --Fir0002 08:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support Pretty clear shot of at least one of the flowers, and decent use of the rule of thirds (or at least some sort of variation of that rule). I'm okay with the picture, however, as with your spider above, this may be too artistic for some users. --Mad Max 10:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Although it is a well shot photo, it isn't all that exciting IMO. Froggydarb 10:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support the other flowers are blurry. Anonymous__Anonymous 10:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This photograph reminds me of my picture of orchids which you shot down for similar pitfalls to one in this photo. The back is pretty bad as only one flower is truly in focus and the framing could have been better. Pretty flowers, though -- GarrettRock 15:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose One flower in focus, out of five, spoils it for me - Adrian Pingstone 20:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It's encyclopedic and very sharp. I like it alot, even if no one else does. :) Spizzma 04:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per Spizzma. Viridae 13:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose I personally think there should be enough depth of feel to include the other flowers. I don't like there just being one in focus. Nauticashades 23:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Artistically, I like it a lot, but as everyone else has said, the other flowers should be in focus, for encyclopedic value. Tewy 20:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC) says: "It's almost Friday"[reply]
