Image:Wishie.jpg[edit]

- Support -- A large puff-ball wishie of the Western Salsify Tragopogon dubius showing the achenes with their feathery pappus. Cropped from Feel it is as sharp, and as wonderful a picture as this previously featured image of a small wishie at Image:Dandelion clock.jpg (Wishie, clock or Blow-ball. The flower head matures into a spherical "clock" (also known as a "wishie") containing many single-seeded fruits (achenes). Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hairs, which enable wind-aided dispersal over long distances. )SriMesh | talk 23:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it is too small | 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 not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed. |

- Checked the page you referred to. Size should be 2 Mega pixels according to guidelines, my adobe photoshop program says this cropped version is 2.09 Megapixels in size.SriMesh | talk 02:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- The cropped version is 882x828 px = 0.73 Mpx and the uncropped is 3.78 Mpx... I don't know where you got that 2.09 Mpx. --S23678 (talk) 03:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment 882 × 828 pixels which should equal ~ .7 pixels. In my opinion, the camera manufacturers have done a dis-service to their customers selling cameras according to "mega-pixels" when it is just more honest and a less used lingo to say the largest pixel area that can be obtained from that camera. Photoshop is telling you how much disc space that image is taking and how much needs to be downloaded to display in internet connections. Also, I tried this before, claiming the disc spaced used definition of file size instead of the area measurement of the file size. (size hint: 1200 x 1600 pixels is too small for the nit-picker(s) here, whose personal camera makes larger photographs than that.) -- carol (talk) 03:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ok Dokey. Now that I understand that ( I think ) a bit better, I believe this image fits the photo size requirements. I get 2240532 pixels, so I could crop it in a bit more yet. The image still is in focus, and shows the awesome detail of the achenes with their feathery pappus.... .
