  • Image is natural, sharp and technically advanced without artificial light or focus stacking. The image has a related image of the whole plant on one wikipedia page. Most plants has trichomes but the combination of trichomes shaped like bear claw on leaf and soft trichomes under leaf is unique for this plant. Some trichomes has a cavity that swell to a circular form when filled with chemical compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids. The reason is unknown. The resin head of the large glandular stalked trichome concentrated around the bracts is 100 µm in diameter. On the lower leaf the smaller trichomes without stalk are visible. Year 1772 Dr.Carl von Linné summarized the plant with the words "Narcotica Phantastica Dementans Repellens" ~Visionary drug (that) repell madness.

  • Oppose. Mostly blurred. I'll refrain from speculating why that might have happened, but we can do better. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:10, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok thank you for your vote and opinion. It is mostly blurred because it is natural. You can not focus stack in the wind. Skalle-Per Hedenhös 08:28, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • But you can use a higher f-stop. It's only at f/5.6, so you could go much higher and increase the depth of field. Kaldari (talk) 18:56, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Criteria for FP is sharp. Not depth of field. Higher f-stop reduce sharpness. You can not turn up the sun. Skalle-Per Hedenhös (talk) 11:27, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • ok thanks for opinion. I may agree but with this composition (close-up) more focus reduced the sharpness at the most sharp point. The technical limits are pushed. This may not be the most beautiful image as a thumb but it is best for wikipedia. This plant is about biochemistry. Image represent. Skalle-Per Hedenhös 20:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please vote for this. Wikipedia need a featured picture of this ancient medicinal plant. It is a close-up of this sacred shrub: Skalle-Per Hedenhös (talk) 23:27, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Poor quality image. Limited depth of field should never, per se, be an issue, providing it draws the users eye to a key element of the image. But this fails in that respect, and communicates nothing about the plant, nor does it have much aesthetic value (COI declaration: I'm the author of a botanical Flora (publication) with experience in image selection. I would never choose this one, unless desperate!) Nominator's recent posts at WP:TH (now subsequently blocked per WP:NOTHERE) suggest they are POV-pushing cannabis-related themes.
