But without some detail to compare, just saying it looks more like this or that makes it hard to discuss. I'm happy to consider any ID comments you have, if I can see what you are looking at.
This is a sentiment I've heard before (generally, not applied to Evan)... I have found by going through this process of moving images probably a couple hundred times (not keeping count) and guiding other folks through the process, as the case may be, that the people who originally uploaded the image tend to appreciate my feedback/disagreement about ID more when it is accompanied by some bare bones explanation of whatever feature is the one that convinced me of the name I arrived upon (or the name that could be ruled out) for the plant in question. That helps them connect the dots and understand the differences in a more general way, so it becomes a positive learning experience.
I guess everyone's rushed for time, and I don't mean to prescribe a certain way of doing things, just sharing my observations and what has worked the best for me over time.
