~~Oppose~~ Weak Support Over exposed again. Stitching line is visible (goes from grey to white on the left 1/3rd of the right grapefruit). Also a long yellow line top right. Noodle snacks (talk) 07:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed --Fir0002 09:23, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but I think there should be a view of it cut through horizontally, as you would if you were eating it for breakfast.Terri G (talk) 10:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you think there is any advantage to cutting it horizontally (in terms of EV)? --Fir0002 04:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to edit 1. I agree with Terri G about the cross-section. Also, are those dark marks on the skin of the uncut fruit, or is that debris? Is there any practical way to get a size reference in this image? Spikebrennan (talk) 14:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Pretty sure they're part of the fruit - I gave it a quick wash before I started. See my response in the mango nom too with regards to perfection vs realism. Nature has blemishes, get used to it! :) With regards to size reference I could do something like this? --Fir0002 04:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I believe that a scale bar like the one in your spider pic would improve EV-- I'm assuming that for each of your fruit still lifes, your "model" is a typical-sized fruit. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:08, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yup all my fruit were hand picked as the best specimen I could find at the green grocer :) (the peaches I actually went out to an orchard to get) --Fir0002 07:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Support edit 2. May I suggest scale bars for the other fruit images? Spikebrennan (talk) 14:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose agree with cross-section idea. Also can the cross-section be taken without it seeming to deform at the bottom? And agree with size ref idea: you could mistake it for a lemon! Fletcher (talk) 23:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well actually a lemon has a distinct bulge at the base (I think it's a remnant of the flower bud). Refer to this. I can also assure you that the bottom was in no way deformed by the cross section cut - that's just the way grapefruits look like. [1] [2] [3] --Fir0002 04:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think what he's referring to is the marked difference between the cut fruit and the whole one. Perhaps a picture could be made that is a composite of a whole fruit and a cut one, shot from the same angle so that it's recognisably the same fruit, and external and internal features can be matched up more easily?

    - Well that's no problem because as it happens this is a composite of a single fruit - the line NS pointed out earlier was an artefact of joining the two images. --Fir0002 07:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
