  • Support- Great picture. --ZeWrestler Talk 17:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. It would have been nice if the whole thing was in focus, but I think the photo is a good representation of a pine cone, and thus gets my support. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 20:31, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Good and sharp. Enochlau 03:35, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Support either original or edited. Enochlau 13:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose unless the grey-ish area of blurring can be removed from the top right. Sorry, it's a nice photo otherwise, but I can't tell if the top right is part of the background or something in front of the lens, and I find it distracting. ~ Veledan • Talk + new 20:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • It's got to be background. If it were something blocking the lens, I don't think it would look like that. Enochlau 10:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Of course it's the background. Sorry for taking so long to reply but I've been on camp in Canberra for the last week. I've uploaded an edited version. --Fir0002 02:23, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral. As a photograph, it is a good quality photo. But as an example of a pine cone, it isn't a good specimen, very old, heavily weathered and half-decayed. I wouldn't pick this one up to keep as a herbarium specimen, as many of the features (colour, surface texture, etc) of a fresh mature cone are already lost. In terms of encyclopaedia use, I'd only use it (alongside with a fresh specimen) to illustrate an article on decay or weathering; I'm afraid it isn't much use for either the conifer cones or the Monterey Pine articles - MPF 11:28, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose depth of focus is a little to small for my taste. It would have been nice to see some seed too. David D. (Talk) 03:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Boring. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 15:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
