Oppose. Very much overexposed. J Milburn (talk) 12:23, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn. Sky is blown. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:31, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, I don't feel that the sky is a distraction from the beautiful garden in this case, but that's just my personal opinion. --Pine^✉ 04:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The path is also overexposed, and you can see underexposure in a lot of the foliage. There's lens flare (I think) streaking down the middle of the picture, and the detail is, in many places, lost in a blur of colour (which doesn't quite look as vibrant as it could- perhaps, again, due to the very harsh lighting). This is a beautiful subject, and by no means a bad photograph, but it's a long way from the professional quality we would want for FPC. J Milburn (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose beautiful, but there are a few chromatic aberrations. --Kürbis (✔) 09:31, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Note added on Alt. May be a lens flare as suggested by J Milburn. Jkadavoor (talk) 06:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above. Personally, I find the blown out sky rather distracting... It kind of hurts my eyes. Dusty777 19:10, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
