 * Comment Crisco makes a good point. I would add that if we're going to go with photographs, we should take care to eliminate some of the redundancy in this set, e.g. 9 and 10, and also how we keep looking back at those shelves with only minor changes. I think shelf shots should only be used to indicate waiting time, and they should be taken from the same angle to allow focusing on essential differences. To give another specific example, seeing the flour being applied is better than seeing the floury loaves on the shelf, and makes that second shot redundant.

 * omment Each of these needs a detailed caption in my view. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Each image alone is pretty average, and together it just amplifies the averageness, sorry. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Focus issues throughout (especially the picture taking bread out of the oven--focus is behind the oven). Like the idea of a video. Any chance you could get back in there with a decent video camera? Clegs (talk) 13:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - Hi. First of all, thanks for this nomination, I am happy and proud of it! However, I agree with "opponents" that these images are not technically the best one and they do not fit standards for FP (on Commons, I am not sure, what are standards here). On the other hand, it was really hard place for taking good images and when I checked my private gallery on Commons I took only one Quality image there. I would like to answer several questions. Firstly, I believed that photos are more educative than video, because they highlight the main points of this procedure. For this reason I took mirror camera with me, not video camera. Unfortunately, I am not able go there one more time in the near feature and if yes, there will be again the same problem. This was not baking museum but real bakery, where everything has to be done quick. There is no place for tripod or some long preparation for photographing :/ And just for fan, there are images from more procedures, see Bread roll, Kifli, or cs:Veka. And of course! I will be really happy when you find some articles on en.wiki, where to add images from Czech bakery :) Best regards --Chmee2 (talk) 20:07, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
