Oppose Not really an "eye-catching" picture. ^8thstar 14:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The background is noisy, and I agree with the above comment that it is not eye catching. Hardly a beautiful picture. Jsc83 18:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not special and not that encyclopedic --Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 21:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So now you have to be BOTH encyclopedic and beautiful? Gosh that'll be hard... I don't consider the eye-surgery or the decapitated mouse very beautiful, we should delist them. The Background is not noise, it's the pattern of the table (I've never seen noise that's affected by DOF); The meat could be more fresh (or is it supposed to be that colour?), and the lighting could be softer but I don't see major problems with it. --antilived^{T | C | G} 01:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it's reasonable to expect food shots to look appetizing, whereas expecting that of something like eye surgery is obviously absurd. This has been poorly arranged and shot under fluorescent tube lighting on a too-large, dull-looking plate, sitting on what looks like a kitchen benchtop. You could replace the steak with a surgically removed internal organ and it would look no less appetizing. Sorry, but it's clearly not FP material. mikaul^talk 08:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Looks yummy but I don't think it's Featured Picture material. Aequo 05:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose, it does display the subject well, but it just doesn't have the oomph of a featured picture. --Golbez 10:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, not very 'professional' looking, for lack of a better word. For featured food we have Image:Iran saffron threads.jpg which does an incredibly job of just isolating the object itself and Image:Cheese limburger edit.jpg which makes a nice scene out of the cheese. This doesn't really do either. It does get blurry closeup and I think a better job could be done. (even though it wouldn't be easy) gren グレン 12:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nothing special, and the glare off the plate and the yolk are pretty bad. howcheng {chat} 20:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
