  • Oppose Blurriness, jpeg artificating and the colors don't seem all to nice either. Joe D 22:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - No opinion on the photo, but didn't this artist do a really extensive show at the NY Botanical Garden this summer? I remember seeing signs for it all over town. --Iriseyes 03:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Poor quality image and composition a little average. Nothing spectacular about the image. A similar but far more impressive image is this one at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Still not quite FP quality though. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose — The glass sculpture is great, but the background is distracting--Trounce 20:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, Kew gardens were very unhelpful and refused to demolish the nuisance glass in the background :-) - Adrian Pingstone 00:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose regardless of a photographer's skill, for FP they need a high quality camera. gren グレン 08:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as stated above, jpg artifacts, white balance issues.-Andrew c 23:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
