[edit] Cross section of a celery plant.

Original - Apium graveolens is a plant species in the family Apiaceae, and yields two important vegetables known as celery and celeriac. Cultivars of the species have been used for centuries, whilst others have been domesticated only in the last 200-300 years. The petiole is the part consumed.

  • Oppose There's zero detail other than on the vascular tissue, and the DOF problems cause too many problems with that detail. SingCal 03:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose I am pleasantly surprised by the quality given its from a non-Macro Tamron zoom lens. For me, there are two issues, both of which are crucial to the success of a macro shot. Firstly, DOF (Depth of Field) is not quite right. Secondly, control of the background, the large brown section in the top right is a distraction. The background could afford to be bit darker too. A good effort, I would like to see another one with a bit more attention to detail. I'm sure it could make FP. Capital photographer (talk) 06:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Everything's out of focus – including what the photo is attempting to demonstrate. crassic![talk] 12:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose There is nothing in focus in the entire image; the whole thing is blurry. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 00:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. As said above, quality is horrible. Spinach Dip 02:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose This photograph is taken from an artist's view rather than an informational view. Quality is also lacking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerrittk (talk • contribs) 20:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose not at an FP level, and the blurriness is bad. SpencerT♦C 19:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per above. DOF is too small; blurred. As Spencer said, not an FP level. —αἰτίας •discussion• 13:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
