- Oppose Cultivar not identified (shouldn't be too hard). Nice to see your umbrella turned up, but the fine detail shows up better with hard light in this case. It also looks over exposed to me. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree - the hard light, at least in your sample shot, looks too harsh and the broccoli is left looking unrealistically dark. I'm not sure what colour the original of yours was, but the broccoli I photographed was relatively pale. That said you're probably right that the original is a bit bright and the edit looks the most realistic. As for the cultivar I suppose I could go ask at Coles, but I suspect from this it's Calabrese --Fir0002 05:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose I just don't think that the photographing of a common everyday object on a white background is FP material. Sure it's sharp and well exposed, but once you are set up you can switch in and out thousands of subjects that will all be sharp and well lit but does that make them interesting to have on the front page? Hope you see my point, it's nothing against the images themselves, but where does it end, will we have an FP fruit and veg month with a different one on every day?! I don't see people rushing to read Broccoli when seeing this. I think there is strong encyclopedic merit to seeing the fruit attached to its tree as well/instead.

- Oppose per Mfield and Noodle snacks. The exposure problem at least should be fixable. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 01:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

- Support Edit 1 but not Original. Nice fix to exposure. Omnibus (talk) 05:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support edit 1. The only thing I'd add is a size reference. Spikebrennan (talk) 20:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Promoted File:Broccoli and cross section edit.jpg I checked the cultivar, and it is indeed calabrese [1]. MER-C 05:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
