 * Comments Picture looks a bit grainy, I think. Let me see what others have to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muhammad Mahdi Karim (talk • contribs) 15:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Grainy and a little out-of-focus. CillaИ X&diams;C [dic]  17:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Grainy and jpeg compression artifacts. --Bridgecross 20:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This might not be a sure-fire FP but it's a fine, encyclopedic shot with only minor techincal flaws. I have to say, those flaws don't include grain or compression artifacts: I think what reviewers here are seeing is the texture of the leaves. Everything else is pretty smooth. It could have done with more DOF, for sure. mikaultalk 23:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought much the same thing; I was wondering how a 2.2MB file at that res would get compression artifacts. There are also speckles on the fruit, but I think they are just that, speckles on the fruit, not grain or artifacts. --jjron 08:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose, I agree; a bit out of focus. *Cremepuff  222*  01:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
