 * Support I'd agree with shoemaker on the "glowy", a black background would probably give better separation, good enough though. I don't like the slightly uneven crop however. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:38, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose I just don't think that the photographing of a common everyday object on a white background is FP material. Sure it's sharp and well exposed, but once you are set up you can switch in and out thousands of subjects that will all be sharp and well lit but does that make them interesting to have on the front page? Hope you see my point, it's nothing against the images themselves, but where does it end, will we have an FP fruit month with a different fruit on every day?! I don't see people rushing to read Granny Smith when seeing this. I think there is strong encyclopedic merit to seeing the fruit attached to its tree as well/instead.

 * Question how does the average person know just from the picture that this is a Granny Smith, and not some other green apple? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt that even a perfect picture would allow this. It's hardly as if Granny Smith apples are strikingly different. vlad§inger  tlk  03:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
