oppose A bit blurry at full res, but mostly the subject can barely be distinguished from the background. Debivort 16:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Tree completely out of focus, species not identified. Alvesgaspar 19:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppoose It's a tree...I have tons in my backyard. Besides that, the background blends with the subject. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 05:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Just a tree... ^8thstar 15:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: What's so special about a tree? ~ Magnus animum ∵ ∫ φ γ 18:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No FP criterion demands that the subject be "special." We must evaluate the merits of the photo, not the subject. Debivort 19:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe criteria #5 sort of covers that. If the subject is commonplace, then it doesn't really add much value to the article. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 20:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When the article illustrated covers a common subject: tree - a image of a common tree (not that we know the species of this particular tree) would seem to illustrate the article perfectly. Debivort 21:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would that only be a stereotype of what a tree is? If it's a generic tree, then it's not entirely useful. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 04:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're saying a picture of a common tree doesn't illustrate tree in an encyclopedic way? ... ok... Debivort 17:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck defines a "common tree"? The common tree in my mind does not look like that. ;) Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 05:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose uninteresting to me is not enough to justify an oppose but...this also falls technically short. Out of focus, bad DOF also you are getting dust spots; sensor cleaning time ;). ~ Arjun 21:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No vote (Why be gratuitous with an oppose?) The sky is nice, the colors are nice, the smudge can be Photoshopped out, but, as mentioned, there's little background contrast. I can't see the tree for the forest. --Bagginz 05:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
