~~Original~~ UPDATED – A taco using a pre-produced hard shell

Reason: The image is of very high resolution, well detailed, and makes me hungry. It is capable of showing what many Americans and Canadians think of when they hear "taco" and explaining the food to those who are unfamiliar with it.
Articles in which this image appears: Taco
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Food and drink

Comment: The lighting creates a rather dull colouration, and there's a white haze in the forground. I'm not quite sure what causes that, but I know it's happened on some of my own photots. J Milburn (talk) 09:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the white haze is quite strange and distracting, the details pretty unclear, and the white background inapropriate for a food shot. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- I'm sorry, but that is an awful, unappetizing picture of a taco. JBarta (talk) 09:58, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the general opinion, I must really be in need of some Mexican food. It looks tasty enough to me. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No misrepresentation here, this is the Platonic taco. But in this case, encyclopaedic value isn't quite enough. The divine halo throws me off, for one. More generally, this taco is rather unappealing. EnkiduEnkita (talk) 01:32, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATED -- This image (as it was) was going nowhere fast as a Featured Picture candidate. It is used in taco articles all over the world and was relatively easy to improve. So I did. I still don't think it's featured picture worthy, and my guess is that this update won't change anyone else's mind either. But at least we got a slightly more appetizing picture of a taco out of the deal. JBarta (talk) 23:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good composition, EV, etc, but it is too noisy, and I'm no so convinced about the cut out job from the background. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
