•  Info Everything by Muhammad Mahdi Karim -- Muhammad (talk) 11:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support -- Muhammad (talk) 11:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose QI and/or VI but not FP, sorry --ianaré (talk) 17:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
  • No apologies required but why not FP? --Muhammad (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose have to agree with ianaré. It documents that mushroom very well. But it is a very straight-forward composition which is not enough for FP (imho) --AngMoKio (talk) 19:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Mushrooms are as good subjects as for example dragonflys. —kallerna™ 20:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per ianaré. - Till (talk) 20:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Agree with kallerna. /Daniel78 (talk) 00:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose That is a weird (and hardly acceptable) reason for supporting. I'm with ianaré, this is clearly a quality picture, not a FP. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't follow. Every person with his opinion and quite frankly Kallerna's reason seems very right. The opposes on the other hand have not mentioned any reasons --Muhammad (talk) 15:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
    • I mentioned a reason. This picture is a perfect example of a QI but not for FP. And i somehow agree with Kallerna concerning the dragonflies - as long as they are not really outstanding they should also only be QI and not FP. --AngMoKio (talk) 15:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
    • @Muhammad & kallerna: That is essentially a non-reason. Mushrooms are as good subjects as for example dogs, people or the Moon. We need quality votes here, and not only for opposing -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
    • For me the subject is too ordinary looking, and the composition too straightforward. The quality is very good, but that's not enough. --ianaré (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose. I'm new here, so have missed any discussion of this issue before -- some subjects are inherently more difficult than others to be FPs. For example, this would be more interesting if the mushroom was part of a cluster at several stages of growth - but what if the mushroom never grows that way? Maybe this image is the 'best possible' of this species. But (as I understand it) that is not a sufficient rationale for FP. Downtowngal (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
