•  Info created and nominated by Daniel78 22:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Image was not downsized, just a slight crop. A similar image exists and is currently used in the en-article, but it has much lower quality: .
•  Support /Daniel78 (talk) 22:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too many individual particles and size of particles too small. I would have photographed a smaller sample closer up and include an object to indicate scale. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:45, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I was looking at the previous image and thought that I should make the pile a bit smaller which I did, but I wanted to still keep it as a "spice-pile" and not individual grains. But perhaps thats a good idea too, not sure, but do you really need to see a spice that much closer :) ?. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose - agree with Tomas that a scale should be added - then I'll support. Because of the detail, the dried leaves appear to be as large as, say, tea leaves, which is not accurate. I would also add into the description that the pile includes both leaves and (tiny) twigs. Interesting to see this up close! Downtowngal (talk) 23:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I'll try to add a scale later today. /Daniel78 (talk) 07:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support I agree that this would benefit from the addition of a scale, but I think the size of the sample is great. It constitutes what I would call, a pinch of thyme, which is basically one of the main measurements that this herb is used in. Julielangford (talk) 13:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose If you nominate it as a Valued Image it will probably succeed, but for FP I find it too ordinary. -- H005 (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Info This is with added scale information as requested above.
•  Support /Daniel78 (talk) 20:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support - this is really quite small and a remarkable photograph IMO. Downtowngal (talk) 17:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose WB, just a bunch of dry leaves, no technical merit, photographic or encyclopedic value for me. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose For the same reasons as the other version. -- H005 (talk) 16:47, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
