An wide range of candies on display on a market in Barcelona, Spain.

I think this one really adds to our article on candy. The picture shows a market stall in Barcelona, with a staggering variety of sweet, delicious stuff. If you thought I tinkered with the colors, you'd be wrong :-) They use BÄRO food lighting, which gives the colours an insane intensity.

  • Oppose. Blurry, and the man in the background is distracting. --Pharaoh Hound 17:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. DOF is too shallow. Focus in extreme foreground is misplaced, IMO. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Good subject and location but poor depth of field and focus. -Ravedave 17:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I suspected people would object to the DOF. Unfortunately, the in-focus version looked extremely busy and overloaded, so I didn't keep it… Mstroeck 18:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose As per User:Pharaoh Hound. (But it did prompt me to go into the kitchen and get some candy. :) —Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 19:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose but we understand it's really difficult to take a pic in a market.--K.C. Tang 00:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose There needs to be more in-focus content for this to truly display the articles it is in. Staxringold 11:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose as per most of above. A deep DOF with no distracting background elements, and cropped to include *only* lollies and nothing else (à la some of Fir0002's images of hazelnuts, raspberries etc) would be really good. The cropping to the left is uncomfortable as well. Stevage 14:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Sorry, too blurred - Adrian Pingstone 16:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose do not like the skewed angle, if this was straight on and not blurry I probably would have supported but being somewhat a sideview and having much of the picture in the unfocused area makes it unsuitable. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 00:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral If it was not blurry I would support. Try to get a non blurry and upload it. But its a good picture other wise! --Actown e 15:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose I feel that there's a lack of focus. - Sprain 05:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
