• 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)[reply]
  • I took a vernier with me whilst I went to water some of my seedlings. About 10mm.

    • 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)[reply]
      • Its in three now, which is at least as much corresponding article as

• Support DOF isn't that much of an issue to me. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 14:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• 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)[reply]
  • Not that this is relevant to the nom at all, but I like this one. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 05:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
      • 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)[reply]
        • Quite right and the iso has an effect too.

• 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)[reply]
  • The plant is outdoors, and it was rained on. Though I'm not sure how natural H₂O varies from natural H₂O :D
