Oppose Where's the beef (i.e. enc)? --Janke | Talk 18:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean? LOTRrules (talk) 20:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Where's the Beef. Exhange "beef" with "encyclopedic value" ;-) --Janke | Talk 09:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think this photo might be better suited for the Commons Featured Pictures. I don't see much encyclopedic value to this photo, but I'm still on the fence about supporting it. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 23:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give more details? This is my first nomination. LOTRrules (talk) 22:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Commons FP are for artistic quality photos with little or no consideration given to encyclopedic value. But as Alvesgaspar says, there are some focus issues that might be considered less than stellar. Being an ametuer photog, my standards are lower than what most of the voters at the Commons have. I think its a nice photo, but it doesn't really show anything except a leaf... and for a nice enclyopedic photo of a leaf, one might want a picture without distractions, such as dew drops. Thats just my opinion. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 00:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I don't think it will succeed in Commons FPC, as the technical quality in on the low side and the framing is too tight on the subject -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Because of a lack on encyclopedic value. Additionally, the top middle is not of high technical quality (color appears oversaturated, reflection in bubbles are blown highlights, and it's out of focus). - Enuja (talk) 05:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is too closely cropped, and the technical quality isn't great. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 23:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
