Support Excellent light and sharpness.--Peulle (talk) 12:31, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Empty part on the left is distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:44, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I agree with Basile. I would be likely to support if the leftmost third or so to the left of the prominent blade of grass were cropped out. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:49, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I expected that comment since the compo is the same as in this nom. Having that "breathing space" to the left is a matter of taste, to me it brings the big open airy places where these plants grow into the picture. I'm very reluctant to crop it, since that would be like fencing it in, boxing and package it. I understand that to those who haven't seen this plant in its true environment, it is just another cute fluffy grass, so oppinions will differ. --Cart (talk) 20:50, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Fencing, boxing and package" : I don't know why. Or that's what we do each time we take a picture, choosing a special format. This dark and blurry part on the left is more congesting than "airy" IMO, as it suggests there's something worth looking for and find in this area, while you can search for long never being rewarded -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:55, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably a Swedish thing, we are a melancholy and minimalist people. As said before, tastes differ and you can't expect mine to be the same as yours. --Cart (talk) 15:23, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I'd prefer a tighter crop (portrait, square) as well --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:52, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I love the bushy white flowers and the light on them, and I like the form. I don't feel like nitpicking about anything in this version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
