Juvenile male cones of a fir (Abies nordmanniana)

I nominate these picture for the unusual and lively colours of the cones and leaves, seeming to announce Spring. The photo was taken by Joaquim Alves Gaspar in April 2005, in a mountainous region of Portugal (Serra da Estrela)

Oppose Unfortunately the only part of this picture in focus is the leaves above the cones and not the cones themselves - Adrian Pingstone 20:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the highlights from the flash are clearly visible giving this a very plasticy look, also there's motion blur in the back and gausian blur in the front. Poor quality. drumguy8800 C T 21:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Drumguy. The highlights from the flash clash too much with the white on the underside of the leaves, especially. Severnjc 02:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Blown highlights, blur/focus issues. --Tewy 00:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
