 * Size requirement not fulfilled, unpleasant background, (one) german annotation. Also it clearly seems to be a derivative work and it is a bit fishy that this isn't mentioned anywhere. --Dschwen 20:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Inadequate size, Flash reflection and unclear acknowledgement --Mfield 20:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too small (read the FPC rules!) - Adrian Pingstone 21:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Way too small, very little detail for any of the noodles. ShadowHalo 23:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too small, and I really don't like the background glare in the middle/bottom of the picture. Also, this seems like a small subset of pasta types that don't include most of the ones I'm interested in. Enuja 01:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per above (Too small, there's a glare, kind of exclusive) WiiWillieWiki 17:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose very low quality, high glare and in thumb it is highly unreadable. ~ Arjun  21:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Lemon-edit1.jpg|thumb|right|A good example of a food picture.]] Suggestion If your goal is to take a featured picture with pasta kinds as a subject, I suppose you could lay out different pasta noodles and take a higher quality picture in the style of "Lemon" at right. Good luck. -- Sturgeonman 20:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Another possibility is to do something like the coquina variation image [[Image:Coquina variation3.jpg|40px]] that Debivort did: take individual pictures of pasta noodles and stich them all together into one single picture, so you avoid the flash reflection.  howcheng  {chat} 20:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * A very important thing is to use bounced/indirect flash instead of direct flash. Just hold a mirror in front of the flash and reflected to a white ceiling or somewhere and crank the flash level compensation (or exposure compensation if that's not available) up to avoid under-exposures. --antilivedT 07:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
