Remebrance Poppy

A lovely photo of a red remembrance poppy at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.

  • Oppose - doesn't really contribute to the article. In fact, it's not really an article - it's a dicdef with a quote. I'm going to AfD that article; perhaps another suitable article could be found for this good picture? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. I think this image has at least some value in showing the poppy in the context of the wall. Furthermore, I believe the image has captured a suitable essence of tranquility well. enochlau (talk) 15:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral - It bothers me slightly that the poppy is fake.. not sure it would so much if it were a little more obvious that it was fake, though. (Not sure how you'd acomplish that, so, maybe not.) Also there appears to be part of a dandelion hanging off of one of the flowers.. and the in-focus poppy at the top is chopped off. Also, the depth of field appears to be tampered with.. it cuts off pretty quickly? (More like part of the image was blurred with a computer.) Because you have such excellent photos, I hesitate opposing, it is still a nice, crisp, clear image that does feel serene.. drumguy8800 - speak? 04:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No that's natural bokeh, f/3.5 at 75mm can make some pleasing effects. Interesting comment though on it bothering you that it's fake but only because it isn't obvious! Thanks for your opinion though --Fir0002 05:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support - Very striking photo. Dramatic, high quality and shows the remembrance poppy in context. - Cuivienen 17:28, 24 December 2005 (UTC
