Support I think this is an awesome shot. --Stephen.job 15:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ this is a very nice picture, but a tiny bit too blurry to be FP. Maybe with sacrifying some of the Resolution to make it special? I love the coloring. --SvonHalenbach 15:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You are quite right, here is a downsampled version, very slightly adjusted. Do you think I should substitute the old one? Alvesgaspar 15:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support let me on the bandwagon! Stephen.job 18:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Jeses 19:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Great pic. I also thought about nominating it, when i first saw it.[reply]

Oppose It is not perfect/special enough for a still object. Admittedly, the colours are very good, but there is still noise and the focus is not up to FP standards. Lycaon 07:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. ack. lycaon, noise, focus, and unthrilling subject. --Dschwen 13:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Will you please tell me where, in the foreground, is the noise so I can try to correct it? Alvesgaspar 14:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yopu are asking the wrong question. Its in the bg, and its annoying. --Dschwen 10:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - You mean like in this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one, just to mention a few flower FP? Wow, I feel much better now! Alvesgaspar 15:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't think your sarcasm is helping in any way. --Dschwen 09:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - I'd like to see the identification confirmed as O. ecklonis (or any other species) before supporting - MPF 22:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm really not sure about the species (the genus is no doubt Osteospermum), it might be a hybrid cultivar. This is called in my country an "African Daisy". Alvesgaspar 23:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the opposers have against this pic. It is perfectly nice enough to be nominated as a FP. The colors are just wonderful. What do you expect from a flower? --SvonHalenbach 23:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
