•  Info Momordica charantia [ku gua 苦瓜] is native to Africa but has been used in Chinese folk medicine for centuries as a 'bitter, cold' herb, and has recently been brought into mainstream Chinese medicine as well as natural medical traditions around the world. Recent research has shown that the immature fruit might have some antibiotic, anticancer, and antiviral properties, particularly well suited for use in treatment of malaria, HIV, and diabetic conditions (the use of Momordica fruit is contraindicated in a number of conditions, especially pregnancy - all Chinese medicinals should be used only under the supervision of a trained herbalist of Traditional Chinese Medicine). created by The Photographer - uploaded by The Photographer - nominated by The Photographer -- libertad0 ॐ (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the colour balance is wrong.

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

•  Comment It would be helpful if someone gave me a clue how to solve this problem. Can this be corrected with gimp?. Thank's --libertad0 ॐ (talk) 13:23, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

  I'm afraid not. First of all, we don't now how the while should be balanced here in th first place, and even if we did, this kind of correction would degrade image quality. The solution is to take photos with correct while balance. --che 20:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
