Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Pitaya

Pitaya

Original - A red pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) fruit, also known as dragonfruit, together with a cross section.

The vast majority of the pictures of a pitaya on Wikipedia are not of a high quality, so I thought I would contribute one that is. I'm hoping to get some feedback to see if it's suitable or has any chance as a candidate for Featured Picture.

• This probably falls a bit short of the FP standard. We have a lot of good fruit shots. Check out Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Plants/Fruits. This one isn't too far short, so it might have a chance, but I wouldn't count on it. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

How can I make it better? Any suggestions? - S Masters (talk) 11:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

• Very nice, I think it could pass, and the edges are pretty smooth. The background shadow's a bit unrealistic, but other than that I personally don't see anything wrong with it. --I'ḏ♥One 21:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I have softened the shadows so that it does not look so harsh. Any more comments before I try this at FP? – S Masters (talk) 08:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for all your comments. I have decided to be bold and nominated it. Do I remove this from here now? - S Masters (talk) 07:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

• Just leave it here. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
