Dried Paprika

Paprika is hanged to dry before grounding. The powder is then used as a spice

Version 2.0, Photoshopped out the head, highlights reduced

This is my first nomination for a FP - I saw the pic in the Paprika article and thought it's beautiful and adds significantly to the article - hence the nomination.

Nominate and support. - Dunemaire 11:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And for the record, I prefer the no-head version myself Dunemaire 16:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Focus isn't quite as sharp as it could be, some of the reflections in the center bunch are a bit distracting, and the woman's head in the background is a minus. These are all minor issues, though. —Cryptic (talk) 18:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - Uploaded an edit... not sure if I support it yet though. Still blurry. But, I adjusted the contrast and color levels to make it a little more appealing. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 20:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose both. Woman's head spoils the image; colors in edited image are oversaturated and highlights are blown out. Denni ☯ 20:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Nice job of photoshopping out the head. Contrast and saturation are much better in this version. Support
Comment - Here's version 2.0 without the woman's head and with the highlights toned down. Dunemaire 21:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Problems with focus, graininess and compression artefacts are serious and the subject matter is not sufficiently novel to overlook them.--Deglr6328 01:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - Yes it's fine now, but the focus isn't the best. If, somehow, it is fixed, I'd gladly change my vote. --Kilo-Lima 16:15, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support only for version without head. Oppose otherwise. TestPilot 03:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not really stunning, the bunches are cut at the top and what is that thing in the top right corner? Plus I strongly oppose photo manipulation. Happy New Year. --Dschwen 21:45, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - top right corner is distracting. Flcelloguy (A note?) 02:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support it looks okay to me. --Snakes 02:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like Edit #1 If you could just get rid of the head. Version 2.0 is just too orange. --Ironchef8000 21:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find the response to this photo, and in particular the edits quite interesting. When I removed a leaf from Diliff's photo there was a huge outcry against it. But here, a persons head is being removed with actual encouragement and compliments (the response I would give), perhaps this discussion should be continued on the FPC talk page and a definite resolution be made --Fir0002 07:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a message about this to the talk page, so future discussion on this issue should take place there. Raven4x4x 08:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Focus and the thing on the top right. enochlau (talk) 15:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
