Commons:Featured_pictures/Plants#Family_:_Rhizophoraceae - Info A solitary mangrove tree on the emerald beach, looking rather bizarre, even ethereal. Mangroves are incredibly tough and have root adaptations to cope with harsh coastal conditions. They live on mud, sand and coral rock in salt water most other plants would not tolerate.

- Oppose The previous tree-on-a-beach nomination had a tree that dominated the composition. This one, in the centre of the image, doesn't work for me either. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment When I first saw this tree, I was so fascinated that I immediately decided to make it the focal point of the composition and place it right in the middle. Moving it left and right seemed to upset the balance. I have never seen tropical mangroves so isolated and growing on sand so prominently, so I believe centered composition works best here. That’s a conscious and deliberate choice. I forgot to mention, the tree is quite tall, about 9 metres (30 ft) high. --Argenberg (talk) 18:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support Works for me. Finding a single isolated tree with its roots partly exposed right on the shoreline is pretty cool. Image quality is very good. Cmao20 (talk) 23:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

weakSupport I like the subject, composition, lighting,but technically the image is questionable even for QI level(yes, I see, that it is already QI) --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC) edited --LexKurochkin (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- The image is from 2009, and the assessment is from 2021. While not quite on par with modern high-resolution sensors coupled with premium glass, I think the level of detail is more than adequate for a 10MP resolution. It was a good sensor with a good copy of the lens, the first Olympus micro four thirds camera ever made. --Argenberg (talk) 23:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed :) LexKurochkin (talk) 17:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think the image quality is fine. The tree is very sharp. The corner sharpness is maybe a little bit less but still adequate. Not much noise and the image is properly processed with plausible colours. We shouldn't make FP quality standards so high that a jpeg from a compact system camera with a decent lens is precluded. I still think this is one of the best FPs I have ever nominated even though the quality is worse than this picture. Composition and subject are more important.
