- Support Enc, good technicals. Perhaps it could illustrate the cohesiveness of water or something like that, too?--HereToHelp (talk to me) 01:52, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose' due to the tight crop on the bottom
and the bugs on the petals.(I didn't know that they are also subject in the picture.-.-)-Caspian blue 03:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC) - Support I am impressed by the beauty of the picture along with the interesting secondary subject. LCpl Stephen Bolin, USMC (talk) 06:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Too messy for a rose, not close enough for the aphids... ;-) --Janke | Talk 09:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. The pervasive water droplets take away from the EV, IMO. Kaldari (talk) 18:50, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support - I disagree that the water takes away from the EV; it shows under what conditions some roses live. Same thing with the aphids. Intothewoods29 (talk) 00:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose, nice Hallmark picture, but little enc value. Plants are more than just their flowers, and this is just too common (substitute boring if you are not easily offended) of a subject. --Dschwen 14:28, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'd actually like to see a hallmark card with bugs all over it... Plants are more than just their flowers, but it is one of the more important differentiating factors for roses I think. Not easily offended so boring will do fine :) Noodle snacks (talk) 23:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - Beautiful shot, but regarding EV it is not good for a picture of the flower because of the aphids and not good for a picture of the aphids, because it's not a close-up on the bugs. Besides, the flower is looking very nice, which doesn't really represent the damage that aphids actually cause (I guess this is an early stage of infestation).

- Weak support I enjoy the detail shown in the shot, although the background doesn't quite appeal to me. Almost too distracting... Nonetheless, it has my support.
