Original - Capsule of Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) showing latex (opium) exuding from incision.

Reason

This is an eye-catching image with limited depth of field to illustrate the subject (the opium poppy and it's latex) well. It caught my eye and made me want to read an article that I was just clicking through

• Oppose Interesting subject, it was timed well (with that drip), good angle. But the lighting, contrast, and depth of field is poor. As such it is not among our best works, IMO. Greg L (talk) 18:01, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
