Maize products

[edit]
Maize is a common staple food in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Clockwise from top: maize, cornmeal, fajitas made with maize tortillas, tacos, and tortilla chips.
Reason

  • Weak Oppose Nice, but for something this reproducable, I don't think it is too much to ask for better exposure, better lighting, and fewer artifacts. J Are you green? 03:13, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Items listed clockwise from top, except the item in the upper left had corner, that doesn't have any cornmeal at all? How about american cornbread and the tons of other things listed in the article that come from cornmeal? Does the ground corn used to make masa even count as "cornmeal?" This picture is of Mexican food, illustrating an article about cornmeal, which is used in more than just mexican food. Oppose because not encyclopedic for cornmeal and grain/jpeg artifacts distracting. Enuja
  • Oppose, I like these types of picture but... this one is not sharp enough and isn't the greatest just for cornmeal. gren グレン 10:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Crop is too tight. There's too many things in the picture missing a small edge here and there. Centy 16:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose, too blurry; poor crop as well. -- Phoenix2 (talk, review) 19:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose I agree with what others have said, it seems to be a good example and could be used well in the Maize article, but is too blurry and the crop isn't that good. Though the crop, maize itself, can be pretty tasty. omnijohn 20:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The blurriness is due to the scan being poorly sharpened. It looks like the original was a good, sharp chrome which was scanned and prepared for print, not monitor viewing. Although obviously not so enc as far as cornmeal is concerned, this is a competent food shot which would make a decent illustration for Mexican food: I'd be happy to have a go at sharpening it if people were able to forgive the enthusiastic cropping. Not totally convinced it would make FP material though, even then. mikaultalk 23:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Lighting is good, high resolution, good encyclopedic photo. SquareShot97 20:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
