Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Bosenberries.jpg

Original - Boysenberries in various stages of ripeness (black is fully ripe, green unripe, and red is almost ripe)

Reason: High quality image with good EV. I'm probably going to get some flack for the blown highlights but like most berries a ripe boysenberry is very shiny - matte ones are usually overripe and have begun to decompose.

Oppose The more or less direct flash in this case looks harsh and unrealistic (compare) Noodle snacks (talk) 07:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Your link doesn't seem to work... But here's one to support my own claim: [1]. Flash was pretty much just filling in shadows (it was a bright day - compare with no flash) - and being the MT it was pretty good in terms of off axis flash. --Fir0002 09:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose per NS; one of the petals above the berries also seems blown. I think some shininess of the berries should be acceptable if it can be toned down a little. The flash also seems to have reflected a fair amount of... I don't know, dust or dirt on the berries. Fletcher (talk) 23:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It's definitely the lighting that I don't like. If it were more like this or this, I would be able to support it. Interestingly, I would be more likely to support your alternate, if the DOF wasn't so shallow. ~ ωαdεstεr16_♣T^C♣ 00:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
