 * Comment isn't the amount of whitespace on the bottom a little excessive? I mean, it's a great photo, but the crop could be improved, for en-wiki, anyway: I think French Wikipedia likes to use these sorts of images without borders, which would explain the more generous space around it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:28, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The photo looks alright to me but only the ones on the vine are in focus. Also there's nothing here that makes anyone looking at this thing "cherry tomato". They could be regular sized globe tomatoes so the EV isn't really there for me. And as Adam says, there's too much whitespace all around.

 * I could see the whitespace on the top and left, to balance out the whitespace needed to fit in the shadow on the right. But there's way too much on the right and bottom. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose The size of these tomatoes is the key feature and not apparent from the photograph. Colin°Talk 12:09, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * To be fair, size is one of the most awkward things to get in a photo. Unless you're including scale bars - and even then, for en-wiki, you probably need both centimetre and inches - you're left with a variety of extremely difficult-to-get-right things. For example, you could put them in a hand, but there's a reason the profession of hand model exists. You could use a coin... if you want to be both distracting and [Americo/Anglo/Fill in here]centric. I think the best thing to do here is to put them next to a regular tomato, but then you face issues: in Britain, an average tomato is about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) across. In America, you often get the much larger beefsteak tomatoes, which are about twice that size. So, even then, not so simple. In short, I'm not sure people have thought through the difficulty of what they're asking for. Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:23, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * A size reference in the image page (like the one [|used in another FP candidate] would work. Spikebrennan (talk) 17:19, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree it needs a bit of imagination but the "subject on white" shot completely removes any context. I wouldn't mind so much if this was a normal tomato but size is the key feature in order to give this EV. Colin°Talk 15:41, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose. Clearly needs a crop. Oppose addition of scale. Kaldari (talk) 10:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
