Oppose Composition --Karelj 20:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This comment was really unexpected because the main reason for the nomination was exactly ... the symmerical composition. Well, we learn until we die. Alvesgaspar 20:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I see no VALUE in the picture. There are too many similar pictures --Mbz1 04:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
- Comment - Please show me one (of these particular species, of course) - Alvesgaspar 18:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, I believe that Wikipedia is not a botanical encyclopedia and I believe it would be too specific, if Wikipedia dispayed "hundered of thousand of vegetal species in nature" on its pages.--Mbz1 19:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
    - The guidelines state that it must be useful and it is. Whether or not there are hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia botanical articles doesn't matter. The FP process is no place to reject a picture just because of what you want Wikipedia to contain. If it can be used in an article to illustrate that topic, then it is useful. -- Ram-Man 22:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Plus this isn't Wikipedia, but the Wikimedia Commons, which contains pictures to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including, I believe, Wikispecies. Anrie 14:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
