The original plan was for a sequences of three images as the flower opens and the fruit appears, didn't happen as I was bed ridden during the time it was happening. Either way it adds value to the article and is of high quality.

Support Depth of field a bit on the shallow side, but acceptable. Fine composition and contrast. DurovaCharge! 04:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Weak oppose. Quality is OK, but I find this stretching EV just too far. The idea for the three photo sequence sounded good. There's been complaints about just showing a flower before, which I can sympathise with but don't necessarily totally agree with, but just a flower bud? C'mon... --jjron (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Support Photographic quality, lighting and composition in particular, is perfect, and it's good technically. I think this shows the bud in enough detail that its EV can be carried solely on that. Definitely not the highest EV picture that's been around here, but enough to clear the bar. Thegreenj 01:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
