Oppose - Seems to be a lot out of focus --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- comment. Please notice in Edit2 the up and down sides of the halfs of the pine cone were changed. Now you could see the place, where a pipe cone was attached to a tree brunch.--Mbz1 18:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Aren't they Alternatives, not Edits? --jjron 16:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I really like these, but as is, they are really soft at full size. I've done a quick downsample and sharpen and they come up a lot better, but unfortunately at this stage of the nom I doubt anything would come of uploading the Edits. There's some funny stuff in the backgrounds where the black doesn't stay properly black - that needs to be fixed as well. Would you bother with a renom if I uploaded an edit, or do you think there's not going to be enough interest? And if so, which one do you prefer? --jjron 16:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, Jiron. It is what I cannot understand - the luck of interest. In my opinion it is a very interesting and a rare fossil. I'd understand, if the voters opposed it because of focus or something else, but no votes at all... I renamed them. I prefer Original 2. I hope we still could save the day. If you and me support your edit, at least somebody else would have to support or oppose it too.--Mbz1 00:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
