Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Nashi pear tree in bloom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nashi pear tree in bloom
Reason
The asian pear is a beautiful fruit in its own right, but I believe Fir0002 has captured an even more memorable scene with a radiant rainbow and a scene of vivid color with the pyrus pyrifolia in full bloom.

  • Out of interest, why "with regrets"? The photo is awful: cropped to a weird looking (condolence card) square shape, muddy dark sky, dull DOF that doesn't highlight any one aspect of the photo, the supposed "subject" climbing its way in and out of the picture without much context, not horizontal (not always a bad thing in my opinion, but here, yes), rainbow... well, I'm not going to go on. Why was this even proposed? It's ugly.--Vaelta 08:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "With regrets" because I think Fir0002 is one of the best, most productive shutterbugs around here. (Yes, I know he didn't nominate this, but I'd love to hear what he thinks of this picture.) I don't think it's ugly, but the composition feels unfocused. The rainbow, skimming the edge of the blossom, competes with it rather than compliments it, so it's not obvious what the picture is about. --Bagginz 15:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The first time I saw this picture I wasn't sure if it was supposed to illustrate the pear blossoms or the rainbow. That's a problem. Amphy 16:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
