Comment – Would be better aesthetically without that empty acorn crown. – Sca (talk) 14:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ. That way you can see the inside structure of the crown too, adds EV. --cart-Talk 14:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't find the empty crown interesting at all, and at full rez its detail isn't great. For this user the interest lies in the collage of nutty colors. -- Sca (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a weirdly specific criticism. – Howard🌽33 21:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – but the greens have a blue tint. Is that real ? Bammesk (talk) 16:44, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As stated on the file page, it was photographed in natural daylight. There was an overcast, so the light may have been a bit blue. Other than that, all colors are as nature made them. If desired, the color temp can be tweaked. Cart (talk) 17:02, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Does not add significant EV. Lost in the article. Lead image has the EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm a bit new on this forum so I don't know all the criteria yet. Can only lead images be FPs? Cart (talk) 22:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, certainly not. Bammesk (talk) 23:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first line of FP guidance states that 'Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles'. So if not in the infobox, they should add significant EV in some other way. One test surely is that if the image was removed, would we lose significant EV? So if the acorns were shown in a timeline, indicating the stages of growth and colour changes, then that would add EV.

All FPCs that get 'promoted' (approved) on this page are potentially TFPs -- if chosen as such by eds who assemble the main page. -- Sca (talk) 14:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that part I know. I've had several TFPs since other users have nominated my photos here. Cart (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
