 * Comment. Masking looks a bit pixelated at full resolution. Maybe it should be downsampled or remasked. Kaldari (talk) 22:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Where are you looking? If anything it'd just be a focus stack artefact that I missed. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:17, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please see the image at left. The thorns that overlap the background are consistently pixely at the edges, while the thorns that overlap the stalk have smooth edges. Kaldari (talk) 19:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I was trying a new focus stack algorithm when I updated a bit of software, evidently it wasn't worth its salt. I did it again the old fashioned way and its fixed now. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, much better! Support 100%. Kaldari (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Rather than appearing on prickle (a diambiguation page- images should be avoided) would this not fit better on Thorn (botany)? I've never heard them called "prickles" on a rose. J Milburn (talk) 12:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Or not- seems there is a difference, as explained in the thorn article. An article for prickles should really be written, then. J Milburn (talk) 12:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've always heard them be called prickles. As stated above prickles are technically distinct from both thorns and spines. The disambig page could easily be more detailed. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
