Review
(criteria)
  •  Info Sorensen's catchfly in Upernavik, Greenland. Only time I ever saw this species. -- Slaunger (talk) 13:12, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Subject and background are somewhat overexposed, but it is better than many photographs I've seen in published field guides and is a good illustration. It is a species that is only found in the arctic. Walter Siegmund (talk) 14:51, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral It is probably the best available on commons, although there isn't a single open flower in view (at least in focus), which makes the scope somewhat less fitting. Still not enough to oppose. Lycaon (talk) 13:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I agree with the criticisms raised by both of you. When I saw it, it was late in its flowering period, and I did not observe it elsewhere. I also agree on the non-optimal lightning condition. Fortunately, I have some supplementary and quite decent detailed photos of open flowers on a neighbouring plant as can be seen in the other versions. It was also only later I realized that it is not a well documented species. Next time (if ever) I go there, I will bring a better camera, a tripod and assure a better timing with the life cycle ;-) -- Slaunger (talk) 21:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Result: 1 support, 1 neutral
=> Promoted. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:49, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
