Question I think for the most part it is a nice image, though I have one question: according to the metadata on the file (assuming it is correct), it says the lens focal length was 516mm, meaning you were using telephoto lens; how far exactly were you from the subject? For the subject matter and the situation, why wasn't it appropriate to use a typical standard zoom lens? Maybe it's a specific question, and I haven't done much nature photography, but it interested me to find out the rationale behind the photograph when I saw that. One more thing: is "sahuaro" synonymous with saguaro? WClarke 04:40, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WClarke, yes, Sahuaro=saguaro... As far as the lens, this sahuaro was about 15-20 feet tall and the flowers generally are up on top and pointing up, so in order diminish the angle I backed away and closed in with the lens. The flowers are shown in different stages and I particularly liked the bees. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:12, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Same classification issues as with the photo of eagles above. I'm liking this but I'm not ready to vote on it yet. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Poor lighting; mostly in shade. This has neither the great depth provided by sunlight nor the soft tones of an overcast day. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:05, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
