Four nominations for the price of one! All four illustrate the ice plant article, are high res, not blown out, and generally aesthetically pleasing. The first was shot by Carsten Niehaus and is a commons image (does that change anything?), and the latter three were taken/uploaded by me, user:debivort. All have GFDL licenses.

  • Nominate and support any one. Thoughts: the first is a bit lower-res, but has greater DoF. Option 4 has a nice mix of colors, but not much of a view into the flower. Personal pref is for number 2. Debivort 01:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Support options 1, 2, and 4. Oppose option 3. These are nice flowers, and great colors, however option 3 is cut off. | AndonicO 13:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • request this is moved to picture peer reiview or photos are individually nominated. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 01:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't know what picture peer review is. I nominated multiple ones figuring 1) we are in a pinch for FPs, 2) people post "second versions" all the time that are different photos, rather than edits, and 3) if more than one received a consensus, the strongest single one would be elevated. Would it have made more sense to nominate multiple images of the same subject? Debivort 02:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I now know what picture peer review is. I am fine with it being moved. Debivort 03:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
