Oppose Its sharp enough and the lighting is reasonable. The encyclopedic value suffers due to insufficient depth of field. If repeatable then I'd recommend that you learn how to do a focus stack. You could also afford to stop down a fair bit more (say F11). Noodle snacks (talk) 15:54, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Noodle Snacks. Two leaves are out of focus and the other is obscured. Zoo Fari 17:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This tutorial explains the basics of focus stacking if you want to try it out. --Muhammad(talk) 19:36, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose varied background makes it less informative in thumbnail (hard to see where leaves start and end). Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
