Edit 1 by Andrew c to address highlight issues

This is another excellent image by commons:User:Aka and is featured at the commons. It appears in lemon, Citrus, Citric acid, List of fruits, and Ripening. The image is well composed, illustrative of both the inside and outside of a lemon, clean, sharp, and well ballanced. (The highlights on the rind are on the boarder of being blown, but I can still make out some detail).

  • Support Very nice, good quality image, that shows the subject of the picture well. Hello32020 02:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Easily the most delicious picture I've ever seen in my life! Very tasteful, high quality, and illustrative of lemons. Jellocube27 03:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Will support if table is removed from the picture. --Ineffable3000 05:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Blown highlights, relatively low resolution, and a little bit of artifacting/noise. --DonES 06:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support both - Nice composition, realistic colours, crisp clear picture. I can't see any wrong highlights. - Alvesgaspar 09:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. I don't see any blown highlights either - if it is indeed blown, it doesn't significantly affect the image so I don't see it as a reason to oppose. It could be higher resolution but it is sufficient the requirements. The aperture is f/29 so diffraction would probably limit the sharpness if the resolution was increased, anyway.

  • Oppose per DonES.--Bridgecross 14:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Nice presentation (cut and whole fruit, what I misste in the recent onion FPC). The white in the right fruit is a little blown, but that detail can be seen in the left one, and the lighting brings out the inner parts pretty well. --Dschwen 14:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose original, lots of glare and blown out detail. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Weak Support edit, less glare in my face, but detail still seems kind of mediocre on the left cut side. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. If the right lemon edge is blown it's not by much, since I'm still seeing yellow spots there. Resolution above requirements. The shadow noise and the glare don't really bother me. Redquark 19:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original — I'm getting tired of people crying wolf all the time, "blown highlights this, blown highlights that." Seriously, where are the supposed blown highlights in this picture? ♠ SG →Talk 19:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
    • what's that big glaring shiny spot right in the center? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 19:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
      • I have created an edit that slightly darkens the whole image, and burns in the detail in the rind area.--Andrew c 19:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
      • That's hardly what I would call "blown." The surface is shiny, as the image shows. Also, I support the original version, as edit 1 seems to be a little too saturated, as if it's a little too orange. ♠ SG →Talk 22:03, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1. I like the darkening, and the image itself is fantastic. Staxringold talkcontribs 20:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support either - it's clear the highlights in the original were not blown, as Andrew C's edit reveals significant detail in the supposedly blown regions. Debivort 20:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1. The edit fixes the highlight issue (turns out they wren't blown after all). NauticaShades 17:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Both images are beautifully descriptive. T Steinway 11:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1. Just a good shot all around. --Tewy 03:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 - this picture is a lemon for sure... ;-) --Janke | Talk 07:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1. It's all been said. --jjron 12:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Per above.--HereToHelp 00:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 - this picture certainly isn't a lemo... oh damn, Janke's already made that joke! Let's try, "What's a lemming's favourite pudding? Lemming meringue pie!" -- CountdownCrispy ( ? 18:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose Why is there a patch of blue in the middle of the background? Otherwise I'm fine with everything else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Antilived (talk • contribs) .
  • Support Very descriptive of lemons. Nice colors, too.
