Kunzea ericoides sprig

Original - Burgan Ti-tree is a shrub growing widespread in Australia and New Zealand, particularly in coastal/scrub areas

Alternative

Not for voting Showing how is it anomalous the stem going to the very edge of the picture. A solution is this, a less unnatural is the one with the fingers.

Alt2-fingers removed, scale provided

Reason: good quality close-up showing detail in leaves and nuts of plant with fingers for scale

Support as nominator --Benjamint 11:04, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Coment. Only the alternative image is in Kunzea. Also, didn't your mother tell you to clean your nails before taking a close-up photo of them? ;-) I suppose you're forgiven if you've been out messing with shrubs. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- heh, I cleaned them up a bit in PS aswell; they had been even worse! Added original to Kunzea. Benjamint 02:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Original per nominator. I prefer the original for the fingers a more gentle presentation than only the white background and the cut at the bottom. Also give sense of a scale. franklin 21:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose original but Support alternative preferably with a scale. I find the fingers disturbing --Muhammad(talk) 09:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is disturbing? distracting? franklin 11:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The dirty fingers give me the chills :( --Muhammad(talk) 13:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw them as the earth where the plant came from. The hands of a farmer. They help to center the plant without having to cut it with the frame. Although the plant is probably cut anyway (but let me keep that in secret) franklin 14:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support either with preference for the original. I don't find the fingers that distracting, although if the alternative is used, would prefer a scale. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I added an alt (Alt2) with the fingers removed and a scale added. To get the scale I assumed the finger nail to be of 1cm width. Is that an acceptable procedure? Can it be better computed from some metadata of the picture? franklin 14:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support any of them, but the thumbnail tip needs to be cleaned. --Caspian blue 19:17, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like the presence of the fingers, which nicely offer a scale, but the dirty fingernail is just too distracting. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 01:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Made adjustments to the nail, uploaded over the original. Benjamint 04:19, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, this new version is preferable, but the quality is still not ideal. I would instead Support the "Alternative" version but with a scale bar. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 18:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Alt 2 needs a license of some sort. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 03:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know how to put the same license as in the original. If someone knows how to go ahead. The image is going to be deleted after Friday 22 is that enough time for the nomination to finish? franklin 04:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed --Benjamint 06:42, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
