Agave Oven


This image is of an interesting and unusual subject, and the quality and composition of the photograph are excellent. It is located in the article on tequila. I believe it meets the criteria of a featured image.

 * Support Well composed, striking, informative. –Joke 15:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support I wasn't so sure about this image at first, so I sat on it. I've realized tt really is a very well put together image though, so I'm happy to support. Staxringold 17:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Very weak oppose. Tough one. I needed to think a bit too. Unusual, yes, good quality, yes - but this doesn't help me, because I find the image itself a bit drab, and the framing isn't the best possible. --Janke | Talk 19:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. First of all the filename is unfortunate. Then I just don't get it. What is the connection to Tequila? Are those things cremated in there? I'd like to see more context. Like this the picture does not help me understand the article any better. --Dschwen 20:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Well framed, striking. - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 20:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This is interesting but the overall feeling is a bit drab and the focus is poor. --Deglr6328 23:15, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have taken a tour of the Jose Cuervo distillery in Tequila, and I don't think this photo is very informative. All we see is the oven's opening, and there is no way to guage the oven's size. The ovens I saw were quite large inside, but I wouldn't know that from this image. Where is this oven located, and how do the workers load the agave into it? What kind of oven is it? The only thing I can really tell from this photograph is that agave gets loaded into an oven; nothing that can't be explained in a sentence. &#126;MDD4696 23:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support It works for me. Especially appealing is the distinctiveness of the topic. --Philopedia 01:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose I like this image enough to support and it did capture my interest, and I can forgive the focus because it's unusual, but I'm with Dschwen in wanting to know what I'm looking at. Information needs to be added to the article and caption to give this a context.  Do the agaves get burned? How does this relate to Tequila production? We want FPs that will engage the reader's interest but it's no good if that interest is frustrated by a lack of information. I will change my vote if (1) my questions are answered and (2) we have a promise the image will be renamed once this nomination is closed!  ~ Veledan • Talk 17:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. MD4696 raises excellent concerns about this image. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 16:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Very boring, and adds not a lot to the article - Adrian Pingstone 17:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Deglr6328. --P199 00:43, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
