  • Oppose The left side of the species are not sharp, the overall tone is a little dark and the composition is not attractive.--Caspian blue 14:57, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Yes, the composition is a little unfortunate, but it would be unacceptable to rotate the image to imply that the cones grow sideways from a branch going up, rather than growing up from a sideways branch. I'd support cutting a little bit of the far right background, though.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 19:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Per Caspian blue, and the picture is no longer used in the Picea pungens article. Lycaon (talk) 13:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it dropped off due to someone reverting a somewhat mouldy IP blanking rather than an editorial decision (looking at the history seems to support this). I've put it back for the time being, let's see if it sticks. MER-C 02:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Open up the image in full and look closely at the background, and to me, it personally doesn't look quite right. (Note: There may be some artifacting in the cropping process, so look at a similar area in the original as well).SpencerT♦C 15:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Neutral Weak support I agree with Capsian blue. Also, I'm dissatisfied with the background, which looks fake odd when viewed somewhat closely at 100%. SpencerT♦C 03:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Faked background... How?

Also anything is possible with Adobe photo shop:-Adam (talk) 06:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, no, fake is not the word I'm trying to use. Struck that and used odd. I've uploaded an image which shows some of my dissatisfaction with the background. Also, changing vote to neutral. SpencerT♦C 15:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is it that white thing you are refering to? I believe it and the other similar line on the RHS were lines of lines of silk (see

Ah, I see. Changing vote to weak support after clarification...sharpness issues prevent a full support.SpencerT♦C 02:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, I did try a focus stack originally, but there was just enough of a breeze to make later alignment unsuccessful.

Would you like for me to change my vote to support:-Adam (talk) 07:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does that comment really make sense? Who wouldn't want a support if your pic was on FPC. However, if there was a clear misunderstanding, I would want that cleared up, just as Noodle snacks clarified my comment. SpencerT♦C 02:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that'd be nice :P
