Since plant photos appear to be all the rage at the moment, I figured I'd toss this one in for my second FP attempt. As the caption says it is a picture of crab apple fruits and leaves, appearing on that page. It is, curiously, the only crab apple photo of any significant resolution or quality. To preemptively answer at least one question, the highlights on the fruits are caused by the sun, not a flash.

NOTE: Although by the numbers, this should be promoted, most people didn't have a very strong opinion about it, so I'd like to see some more discussion before applying a result. howcheng {chat} 16:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. - Severnjc 02:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I like this pic, excellent colour, good depth of field - Adrian Pingstone 14:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. I like the composition, but I think it's slightly overexposed. It looks too bright to me. howcheng {chat} 17:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
    Just uploaded an edited version with the levels brought down a bit. How does it compare? Severnjc 03:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support either. Not an incredible amount of detail on the individual fruit, and the picture could have used some softer light, but it's still a good shot. --Tewy 00:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Weak oppose both. I can't see this appearing on the front page. --Tewy 19:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • So-so support for the second, not terrific, but pretty good. Hello32020 20:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose - the depth of field is superb and it's a technically excellent photograph. However, it doesn't jump out at me and shout "make me a featured picture, CountdownCrispy!" and in that respect I just don't think it exemplifies Wikipedia's best photos. -- CountdownCrispy ( ? 22:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support; great picture, FA standard.--Andeh 00:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
    • We're FP over here ;-). --Tewy 02:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support for original, but I also support edit 2. ♠ SG →Talk 22:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose both. - Ack User:CountdownCrispy. Technically perfect, no WoW. - Alvesgaspar 10:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose Original, Weak Support Edit. I don't know if I'm still allowed to vote, but I just thought I'd add a little more weight. NauticaShades 20:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Barely large enough, but actual fruit does not have enough pixels. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 03:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I like the photo but I believe any featured picture of a plant/flower should include the species or cultivar name. This should be available as it was photographed in a botanic gardens.--Melburnian 08:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
