Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed because the image is badly cropped. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing FPX to FPX contested and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If no contrary views are expressed within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

  •  Neutral Nice. The mushrooms look a little bit flat and could have more grip (texture) and plasticity (lighting) 4 my taste --Richard Bartz (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your opinion. Actually the mushrooms have a smooth surface without any visible texture. Maybe I could show more plasticity by more direct lighting, but I like this dimmed light on the forest soil. Btw. Unlike the pic in the Makro-Forum it was a dry day. Normally they aren't as slimy as seen on the pic there. --LC-de (talk) 13:10, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I think the depth of field is not optimal, the top of the mushrooms is a bit blurred. I like the leaf at the left, so we can compare the mushrooms' size, but you should have chosen an aperture a little bit bigger. Diti (talk to the penguin) 14:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose It is overexposed I am afraid. Both the red and blue channels are badly clipped. Also, it is not that sharp, given the rather small image size. I would suggest using a tripod for a 1/60 second exposure. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support Might be reframed later if necessary ; composition is interesting, the neck falls exactly between 2 road signs. Maybe a little bit too much road on the right hand side, but then the ostrich would be too centered... oh well, i think it's very good for a picture taken while drivin of a running ostrich. --JY Rehby (talk) 17:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I don't like the composition. It looks too much like a casual shot to me. Benh (talk) 22:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per above, you should have a very nice background with picture like these. This isn't the case here. It doesn't amplify the subject. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 01:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Its meant as a detail shot, if it had a background it would be a completely different shot, of a wheel or a locomotive. Personally, I think if I had nominated Image:60163 Tornado wheel.JPG people would rightly oppose, as it shows nothing but a wheel with no discernable quality other than showing a wheel. (A very significant wheel, but as above, this is maybe not enough to have it qualify as a significant picture). Ultra7 (talk) 17:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
