 * Lighting is fine for me, and you must of been way across the room with a 150mm lens for this. You have swiped the top of the right cabbage with a white paint brush though, and the white balance varies between the two images. The shadow on the RHS image is very blue.

 * No paint brush swipe - I did some selective levels to that section to brighten some grey shadows which must have caused it (feather effects). And yeah you're right there does look like a minor variation in WB. I'll do a reprocess probably tmrw. --Fir0002 14:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Size ref or scale? Spikebrennan (talk) 17:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think most people know how big cabbage is. Kaldari (talk) 21:21, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would they be looking in an encyclopedia for information about them if they knew things like that? I tend to look for things I don't know rather than read things I already know myself... Thus the viewers of this article may NOT know the size of a cabbage... Gazhiley (talk) 08:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Lol with all that discussion no one took the initiative to add the scale! Scale is approx 25cm in diameter (inner sphere) --Fir0002 14:01, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And who's going to do that, with the flood of self-nominations that you're subjecting us to? Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 11:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There are many things that could be added to a picture that are not necessarily clear... Not all pictures require size ref. If we ask for every picture to have size ref then why not ask for colour reference, speed of the subject with respect to the viewer reference. We could add many others magnitudes that people could ask and not know from the picture but I'll refrain from that since many might be computed from the metadata of the picture. But even this is not at all obvious how to do.  Franklin.vp   21:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. We don't need to clutter up the image with information that should be provided in the article text. Unless the subject is of a surprising scale, there is no reason to plaster a scale graphic onto the image. Kaldari (talk) 21:58, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support btw. cannot see the blue that noodle refers to, and looks very good to me... Gazhiley (talk) 12:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Is cabbage really that white? Makeemlighter (talk) 07:35, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed they are - have you never had one? --Fir0002 13:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Only chopped up, and I usually don't pay much attention to the colors of the food I eat! Makeemlighter (talk) 16:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
