- Reason
- The article's not the best (though it is by no means terrible), but hopefully someone will get around to working on it at some point soon; it's a moderately well known mushroom. Regardless, wonderful composition, high quality photography and obvious EV.

- Oppose Don't think it is that sharp for a macro, some noise and CA visible in parts. Fletcher (talk) 03:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Support as photographer Thank you for the nomination J Milburn. Another little brown mushroom ;)
I do not see problems with sharpness. There is some chromatic adoration - the thin purple line along the top of the mushroom's cap. This is a limitation of the camera. It shows up on all photos where a light object stands out against a dark background. The imperfection has been noted in photos from Canon Powershots going back to the A-70. The CA is only noticeable at full-size, and even then it is not distracting. If somebody has the means and inclination to make the image better, then I would happily support an alternate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shroomydan (talk • contribs) 15:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Fletcher mentioned CA, but the imperfection in the photo is really purple fringing.
