Chocolate edit

Varied Chocolates.

This picture looked both sharp and good enough to eat, making it a candidate. It was taken by Andre Karwath and appears in Chocolate, as well as several User pages (probably chocoholics, therfore sincerely asked to support).

Very weak oppose. I'd say it appears in more than "several" userpages :) It's nice, but it just isn't exceptional. I don't like the lighting, it seems to be lit from below which looks strange. For something as common as chocolate I think that we (the Wikipedia community) could get a higher resolution photo. This res isn't small, but it doesn't feel big. I don't know, something about this image makes it lack the "wow, what a beautiful, cool, exceptional image!" that FPs should have. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 18:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I agree that a picture of something so common should be a very good image indeed. This is a good picture, but it could be larger, and the lighting is a bit flat. HighInBC 20:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all above. The resolution is great, but something about the presentation isn't doing it for me. Maybe it could be lit better. Pictures of food should make my mouth water, and it's not! --Bridgecross 20:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - First of all the reason it's on many user pages is because of a template which has nothing to do with choclate and therefor the subject of it is life. Back to the image this is like a advertisement for Alpia chocolate first. After that the quality is really on limit and then again it's only a chocolate. Lacks the WOW factor and it's surely not the best Wikipedia has to offer. The only reason a photo of a food can get FP is that (as mentioned above) is mouthwatering. composition is not nice either in my opinion. Arad 23:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support - The detail of the chocolate in high resoultion comes through nicely, but having only one brand isn't really representative. It may be useful in some instances (i.e. - when discussing bars of chocolate). --FloridaJosh 12:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Unexceptional. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Per above. A picture of something so common should be exceptional to qualify for FP. --Tewy 03:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose A good photo but not a great one. Tobyk777 05:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per HighInBC; good, but not great --rogerd 23:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I actually like the idea, but I'm opposing for what FloridaJosh said. A proper chocolate FP should be more a cornucopia of cocoa powder, maybe some cacao beans, and a variety of chocolate brands/forms. Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - If this is intended to illustrate chocolate, I'd prefer a different arrangement. Also, current arrangement is not pleasing to my eye. Not really special, frankly. doniv 18:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
