  • ✓ Done Thanks ! --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:09, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Useful, but I'm sorry to say, I think it's doubtful this photo is of good enough quality to be a VI, considering the extreme unsharpness, chromatic aberration and weird diagonal lines on the left side, particularly around the trees. Is there any way you could improve the photo, such as perhaps by redeveloping it from the RAW? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image is not blurry. The tree, which is 100 years old, is a Ginko biooba, but it is a female. It produces many fruits that once walls emit a stench if they crash on the ground. People have complained and the tree is surrounded by a green net that allows fruit to fall without opening in the garden and not in the street. This story is very well known in the city; It should also be noted that passers-by are all on the opposite sidewalk. Nobody wants to risk passing under the tree. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 11:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Useful, and thanks for the explanation --Llez (talk) 06:00, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - Yes, thanks indeed. That's quite a funny story. There are a bunch of ginkgo biloba trees on my very block here in New York, and when the fruits fall on the sidewalk, stepping on them does indeed emit a stench, but there are no nets over them, and when many of the fruits fell off earlier this fall, a Chinese woman came by with a paper bag and picked up everything she could find. They may smell bad, but ginkgo nuts taste delicious and are a standard ingredient in Chinese cooking. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:53, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
