 * Oppose It hasn't been in the article long enough, the image that you replaced this with (File:Digitalis-stora hultrum.sweden-24.jpg) I think is a FAR better infobox image since it shows the whole inflorescence as opposed to this image which is a closeup. Ideally a herbarium specimen of the whole plant or at least one that also shows the basal leaves would be better, but of the two the old one is better. Can't support a closeup for this plant, since an image with the whole plant is highest EV. Unless there is a section in the article that specifically would call for a closeup then this image has pretty low EV for the article. — raeky  t  12:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello and thank you for your comments which is appreciated. Your comments will be taken on board for future pictures posted. I am new to this section and this is my first picture uploaded for nomination. The reason I took such a close up of the plant is due to this part being the most striking in colour and most opened. The part of the plant above still had closed sections and the more plant I got in the picture the less close up of detail I would of got in. I uploaded and replaced the previous picture because I thought this was more eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article.Danesman —Preceding undated comment added 19:43, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * For infobox images EV (encyclopedic value) is of higher weight then visual attractiveness. File:Digitalis_purpurea_-_Köhler–s_Medizinal-Pflanzen-053.jpg would be a better infobox image for a taxonomic page than a closeup of one detail of the plant, in terms of EV. For featured pictures we look at EV and attractiveness, putting a very high weight on both. — raeky  t  19:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Note and Speedy Close Thank you for your interest in Featured Pictures. I agree with Raeky that the previous lead image was better and have reverted, so this image no longer qualifies for an FP nomination because it is now in no articles. If you can find an article where it would be a good illustration then please add it there and come back to FPC after the image has remained in the article for a week. Pine✉ 04:55, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thankyou Pine for your comment, I have placed this picture back on the page but under its gallery section at the bottom of the page with its other pictures. Your comments are appreciated and will take on board for other nominations.

Alborzagros, to help me perhaps you could expand on your comment 'ill-frame' please? --Danesman (talk) 12:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
