•  Oppose The white petals are overexposed. I find the composition is good but too ordinary to make it a FP. The current flower-insect bar is somewhat higher than this photo offers, sorry. -- Slaunger 22:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

If the petals are over exposured, it's because of the regular sun of noon : picture is not retouched yet. This is regular nature without PhotoShop alteration! Give me hints to make it better, I'll work on it... or feel free to work on it if you have a second! Thanks a lot for your help guys!.. Benoit Rochon 05:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

There is nearly nothing you can do when a picture is overexposed. The detail in the pedals is lost forever. You have to be careful when you take the picture. --Simonizer 08:32, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Simonizer about this. It would be hard do much about it in Photoshop without "cheating". The fundamental problem is that your camera sensor has clipped off the brightest parts due to a too long exposure time and/or a too large aperture. It is hard to avoid this on white flowers. If you would like more detailed feedback and hints on how to improve your photography, I suggest posting your images at Photography critiques. I have used that several times myself and it has helped me improving on certain aspects of photography, although I still have a lot to learn. -- Slaunger 07:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
