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)[reply]
Oppose Grainy and a little out-of-focus. CillaИ X♦C [dic] 17:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Grainy and jpeg compression artifacts. --Bridgecross 20:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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. mikaul^talk 23:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
Oppose - Focus problems --Childzy ¤ Talk 21:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I agree; a bit out of focus. *Cremepuff 222* 01:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
