Review (criteria)	Best in Scope Shows a clean, quality image of species stalk with flowers. --GRDN711 (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)  Oppose Too many focus-stacking errors. File should ideally have focus stacked image template. Also, I don't think a black background is best for a living plant: this type of image is more natural. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:57, 30 June 2023 (UTC)  Comment As part of the phoebus project which links the MHNT and Wikipedia, it is recommended, if the images are made in the studio, to use a black background.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)]]--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)  Comment Charlesjsharp for the benefit of Archaeodontosaurus and myself (as I did not see it), when you say "focus-stacking errors", what are you refering to? Can you mark an example wiht a note box? Are these errors visible at VI review size? Agree on a focus stacked image template would inform the viewer. Note added showing most significant focus-stacking error. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC) A digitally-altered background might merit comment but is not the background color just a personal preference? Here the dark background allows good separation of the inflorescence. --GRDN711 (talk) 17:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC) Requested template is for focus-stacking; black background is personal choice - no implication it is artificial. Image I prefer has dark tips to the buds; this one has light tips - no idea which is more representative. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)  Support I prefer this image. The other photo is sharper, but this photo shows the overall inflorescence better. The other photo only the top view.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:47, 2 July 2023 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted. Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:11, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
