Support. Agree that the quality is better of yours than the existing FP, but the existing FP has better colour (yours is quite monochromatic) and a more interesting composition. I think there's room for both, though. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I don't like the dull flash lighting and colours. Composition is not the best either. Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- What do yo mean by dull flash lighting? --Muhammad(talk) 21:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - The picture shows little volume, everything looks like projected in a flat surface. Look at this old FP: small and not technically perfect but a far better composition and lighting. A little advice, if I may: since you have already dominated most of the essential macro technique, I think you should now invest on composition and aesthetics, that is were some of your photos fail.

Oppose Lighting could be better, but I really think 1250x1250 is a bit small for a very common subject. I wonder about the white balance too, the specular highlights are yellow, not white as you'd expect. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- 1250x1250 is abt 1.6mp, what Fir usually uploads. If it were to make your vote change, I can upload a higher res. --Muhammad(talk) 21:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
