• Oppose Composition and background is too messy, doesn't show the fruit to advantage. Also, motion blur; poor focus. Please study the FPC requirements, thanks. --Janke | Talk 18:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• comment maybe the alternative shot from the same set? It shows the inside of the fruit as the outside begins to disappear. Furmanj (talk) 18:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC) (NB: Original pulled... I didn't see the focus issue)

• Oppose In itself it's a nice picture, but in full resolution it's much to unsharp, sorry. —αἰτίας •discussion• 21:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Stem is distracting. --Sharkface217 06:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
