I'm not sure about this one; the composition is a bit strange as there are two whole amplang yet we can only really see three and a bit sides and the lighting mutes the contours. I guess they aren't the most exciting shape and you are trying to add interest by arranging them in an action pose, but they look a little like they are about to mate. Belle (talk)
- Indeed, the shape isn't the most attractive in and of itself, and the contours don't have any sharp lines. That may be part of the reason why pages and pages of Google Image Results just show them in bags or on plates. However, I figured it would be best for an infobox picture to show one or two. This allows us to see in detail the shape of the snack itself. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:26, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Could you break one open? This would give some sense of scale (like the powder in the Tumeric pic) and show off the structure a bit better; and be a novel way of illustrating them (I can't find any images of them broken or crumbled); and make you redo all your hard work; and stop me whining (maybe).

    - My wife has... processed... all of them, sadly. Next time I get some, I'll give that a shot. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would rather see them within some sort of context in order to judge the size. Resorting to a scale seems awkward to me. Kaldari (talk) 05:16, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- What could be standardized to measure size? Bowls come in all shapes and sizes. Coins are troublesome (especially since the vast majority of readers will have no reference point for an Indonesian coin). To avoid ambiguity, a scale works best. (Though yes, I must admit that at high resolutions these look almost like small loaves of bread). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:47, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support I wonder what's the test of this... ;oS --Yann (talk) 13:56, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Fish. I don't really like the taste, but my wife loves snacks like this. (The kue gapit was more my type) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- I feel this may the best way it can be captured. I am not much concerned about the sharpness of the edge in this -- DreamSparrow ^Chat 19:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
