This new image illustrates Rowan. It was taken by a friend of mine who agrees to license it under GFDL. A non-cropped high-resolution version is available on commons:Rowan. I think the image is excellent. The subject is by no means perfect (look at the rotten berry for example), but it is a better illustration than an image of a "perfect" cluster would have been. — David Remahl 23:17, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I find that patch of white light distracting. Enochlau 12:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Oppose. Enochlau 11:04, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Still oppose the edited version. Enochlau 09:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose I agree, the white light patch distracts from the berries,though other than that it's a great image. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 04:10, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Still oppose, even without the white spot the focus isn't great and the background distracts from the main subject of the image. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 22:16, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Note: I've uploaded the second version with the light patch Photoshopped away, and cropped to remove most of the blank green space that resulted. Sorry for doing this during voting time. Coffee 17:00, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose It is an excellent representation of ripening Rowan berries, and should appear in the Rowan entry, but I don't think this bunch of berries is compelling enough for featured status. Perhaps if there were a bird snatching one of the berries in flight, it would be appealing enough for featured status. Hebb l 21:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Neutral. Its a good illustration, but I think I prefer the lead image on Rowan, although it is a little over saturated.
  • Oppose Slightly blurry and the colors don't combine to make a pleasing image. Sorry --Fir0002 03:30, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
