Reason

Beautiful picture, good EV, good DOF, great composition. Sadly, the original was heavily compressed. It also suffered from being noisy and over-sharpened. I've done my best to eliminate the noise and compression artifacts. While not technically perfect, I think it's still among our best photos and should be featured.

• Support I do enjoy a nice picture. Where is this, other than the obvious page Morning Glory? If it is only on one page though, how much EV does it have. Nezzadar 18:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
  • MU categorized it as an Ipomoea, so it could potentially go in that article as well. I don't know enough about Morning glories, however, to verify if the ID is correct. Perhaps someone else could help. Kaldari (talk) 18:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support I think the beautiful image deserves FP.--Caspian blue 18:27, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: This is a nice shot, but do we not have a better idea of the species? Could we narrow it down to a genus? J Milburn (talk) 11:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has been verified as Ipomoea by WikiProject Plants. Kaldari (talk) 16:31, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak support. Very nice photography, but I'm again not liking the composition. Too tight on the sides and too much space at the top - it feels cramped. Also, the noise reduction seems to have killed a lot of the petal detail which is a shame... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:35, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support I'm impartial to close-up or fractional flowering plant shots, but this one grasps my attention. Although I must agree with J Milburn and ask for a better ID. Very nice though. Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 00:18, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
