Oppose – I doubt the EV, primarily because the lead image already is a very descriptive one and two, the image is pretty down in the article. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - An excellent, simple photograph that illustrates the subject perfectly. While it's true this is the fourth photo down on the page, it's not an enormous article where the photo gets lost. Moonreach (talk) 14:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Are these clementines from the Death Star cafeteria? What's with the black mirror background? It would be nicer if they were on a plate or wooden cutting board or something where they didn't look so out of place. Nosferattus (talk) 03:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mainly responding to say "death star cafeteria" made me laugh. I feel like the reason people (like me in this case) use surfaces like this are to try to make an ordinary, everyday subject into something dramatic. It's like, if I'm going to take the time to set up a whole photo shoot for a piece of fruit, focus stack a whole lot of shots of that fruit, meticulously peel it, and do the whole thing over again then I might as well be consistent with treating it like a celebrity. That's a "why the photographer did this" explanation, though, and not a "what someone thinks would be most natural in an article" explanation. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid question, maybe, but is only the highlighted area on the front of the left one in focus, or is that an illusion? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 15:53, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should all be in focus (it's two focus-stacked pictures composited next to each other). It got by the pixel peeping on Commons, anyway. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
