Nectarines
This is an edited image of Image:Nectarines summer 2006.jpg. Colors and fruit look great. The tree is a semi-wild one (it grew from a pip) so I can't identify the species. Nevertheless I think it displays a good generic image of a nectarine, and is thus encyclopeadic.

 * Weak oppose. I don't like the fact that the fruit are so covered with leaves - it gives a messy, snapshot feeling to the picture. A shot from another angle, perhaps? --Janke | Talk 13:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Browsing through Fir's numerous images, I'm struck by the difference between those that are merely competent (properly exposed, good color, in focus, etc) and those that have that something extra that makes them stand out and demand to be featured. Unfortunately this one falls into the "competent" group -- good, but not FP material. -- moondigger 20:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose as above but also I feel like I'm looking at the "back" of the fruit, however bizarre that sounds. And somehow, I don't get a good feeling for what these fruit actually look like. They do look like nectarines, but apparently with pointy bottoms? You'd like to be able to see where the stalk joins the fruit to the branch. It's just not very satisfying. I should also point out that it's not used in any articles. Out of curiosity, is the photoshopped leaf the one in the extreme bottom right? Stevage 08:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentYeah i get what you mean, its like its the wrong side!!-- Ch ild zy ( Talk 12:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose As Stevage says: not used in any article (which I thought was one of the requirements for a FPC?) - Adrian Pingstone 10:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I should have pointed it out earlier, but the original (the image this is derived from) is in an article. I was hesitant to replace the original in the article till I had a little confirmation that the edit was better. --Fir0002 12:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Leaves in the front are distracting. Boring framing- not the best picture of nectarines I've seen. Cab02 19:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
