  • Comment This is very good to look at at thumbnail size and has good EV but the firdt picture in the series is completely out of focus. --Muhammad(talk) 00:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Ditto Muhammad. The first image needs to be in focus and it would help if the DOF of the last weren't so shallow. Great idea overall though, so if you can get replacement images, I'd be happy to support this.

  • Info - Here is a new version where the issues raised above were addressed. Not so good asthetically, I'm afraid. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The 3rd picture of the original is much better in terms of quality IMO. Could you replace the 3rd of the alternative with the 3rd of the original? --Muhammad(talk) 13:05, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think it's important to see the red coming through the bud, otherwise there's nothing to connect the first and second panels. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:38, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, particularly the original. Though the stem in the first panel is a little out of focus, the bud is sufficiently in focus and the blossom breaking through adds important information about the nature of the blossoming cycle. A fine addition to the Main Page for a day. Greg L (talk) 19:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
