[edit] Limburger cheese
- Reason
- I am pleased to nominate this beautiful public-domain still life as a featured picture. The arrangement is tasteful and appealing, and is expertly photographed. It adds value to its article by clearly depicting not only the food in question but also a typical serving. Practically the only featured picture criteria this image does not meet is neutrality, since the photograph is so flattering to its subject that my mouth waters just looking at it!

- Weak Support. The image looks excellent, but a little dark. Most staged shots aren't good for FP, but this one seems more true to life. Increasing brightness/gamma could help with the darkness. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-01-22 18:15Z
- Comment I would support if someone could adjust the levels to lighten it up without making it look washed out. —Dgiest c 18:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support edit 1. I feel that my edit solves to lighting issues. Good photo, if a bit on the small side (though above the requirements). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I find the framing to be uneven There's a significant portion of black on the bottom and little room on the sides. Also, objects in back are and plate design are distracting. If they're important to the display/consumption of the cheese, they should be completely in the shot and not cut off. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 21:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. I have to agree with Zepheus; the plate pattern and background objects are distracting from the main focus. Trebor 21:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- The stuff in the background is not completely important, but if you leave it out, people will complain that it looks like a studio shot. So having it halfway in the shot is sort of a compromise. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-01-22 21:24Z
- What's wrong with studio shots? Are they less desirable? - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 21:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose. Too many destracting things besides the cheese. User:Nelro 16:59, January 22, 2007

- support edit 1 - hate cheese but like the shot - don't find the other objects distracting either. Debivort 22:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support edit 1 Per nom. A great still life that has high enc value. -Fcb981 00:17, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Weak support. I'm not sure if this is most encyclopedic way to show the cheese... but, if it were in a magazine I would have to buy some. gren グレン 08:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Not very good background and not good lighting, I am a big fan for bounced flash... :p --antilivedT | C | G 10:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support edit 2. The composition looks good to me; the framing seems fine and the other objects don't really ditract that much. The original image is a bit dingy, though, and edit 1 seems washed-out. Edit 2 looks to have solved these problems. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 10:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support edit 1 Reminds me of [[:|this picture]], but this is better quality. I'm hungry now, but I like cheddar better. :-) | AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 19:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Support Edit 2 The original is too dark, and I agree with GeeJo that Edit 1 is a bit washed out. H4cksaw (talk) 00:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
