Pancake with strawberries [edit]

I think this is a very mouthwatering picture, and is an excellent photograph of a pancake. It is in the Pancake article, and it was created by Joshua.

Oppose the focus is too much on the strawberry. The Pancace is cut and degraded to a background. Also the top rim of the frame is a bit distracting. Apart from that, I love pancace. Maybe add a strip of bacon... --Dschwen 20:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not an interesting picture, I can't see much of the pancake, and out of focus - Adrian Pingstone 22:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Lighting on the strawberry not good enough for fp. But I do want pancake now! Zarniwoot 23:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with it? Are you sure your screen his the proper contrast? - Mgm|^(talk) 10:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, its fine. There is a strong blue color in the reflections. I guess the lighting is a mixture of outdoor and indoor light. This photo could properly be better made in a tabletop macro studio where lighting can be controlled. Zarniwoot 13:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - lighting (blue reflections all around), colours, distracting objects along the top, the subject is the strawbery not the pancake. --84.242.95.3 00:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The cream blends in with the plate, it is mouthwatering though!--Ali K 04:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with above. Alr 02:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Photographer to photographer, this picture is very hard to do as getting that close up & still being able to retain definition is quite difficult. I see nothing wrong with the picture except that the plate in the background looks out of sorts & that the blue reflections are detremental. Spawn Man 03:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If you have a super-macro lens, you can get this close and retain real defintion example. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 04:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not really out of focus, but the ISO appears to have been far too high and the detail level is far too low. beyond that, it has a poor composition, and the reflections on the strawberry are annoying. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 04:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Looked okay as a thumbnail, but really pretty unattractive up close. Dylan 04:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, interesting composition and I see nothing wrong with the hi-res version. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Vanderdecken/Oppose Not very appealing at all, I'm afraid. Doesn't look appetising, and what does it illustrate? Half a strawberry looking sorry for itself? —Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 10:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Although I love pancakes and it is a nice picture, the butter and plate blend into each other too much--Lewk_of_Serthic 02:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I think having the entire plate in the picture would have looked better. enochlau (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose strawberry is too dominant for a picture to explain a pancake - as it is cut in half, it wouldn't serve the strawberry article very well either --84.134.6.58 23:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree with Vanderdecken Eyesclosed 17:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Vanderdecken that "the strawberry is too dominant". The caption would be more accurate if it said "Strawberries on pancakes," but even then I'm distracted by the odd tinge of the strawberry's color.--Jonthecheet 01:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
