Actually, the featured picture Apricot and cross section.jpg has Apricots close to each other, and, that picture is on the Main Page right now. They are both similer. December21st2012Freak Talk to me at ≈ 05:33, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed. The apricots in the main page are pretty close, but the gap between them is properly centered in the picture which makes it look fine. Here, on the other hand, due to the vertical placement of the apples in the frame, it looks like the sectioned one is going to fall out of the picture (not a desired feature in this case). Also it can be repaired, or at least they did something similar in Pinnacles National Monument's nomination when added more sky.  franklin  06:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Needs scale and identification of the type of apple. Spikebrennan (talk) 16:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with the need for type identification, but unless the apple type is uniquely large or small, I disagree with the need for a scale. SpencerT♦Nominate! 22:42, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Added edit. Unfortunately I don't know the size but support anyways. --ZooFari 00:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also cultivar is mentioned in the article. --ZooFari 00:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak support Edit I it find hard to support this kind of pictures, but I think it is fair.  franklin  22:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support edit only. Looks good. --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. FWIW I think the variety ('cultivar') may be misidentified here. I suspect it's a sundowner, not a sundown (see here for example.) Coming from the same area of the world as Fir, can't say I can ever remember seeing a variety identified as sundown. --jjron (talk) 07:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Isn't that a brand name?  franklin  07:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks like the cultivar name for a Sundowner should be Cripps red [1]  franklin  07:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • FWIW (ha! I learned this acronym) here is a huge list of apple varieties [2]  franklin  07:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • One of them is Sundown [3]  franklin  07:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you check my original link, it appears your final link is calling the Sundowner a Sundown - the other information seems to match, except for the harvest period, but presumably your link is an American site vs my Australian site which would explain that, and they are an Australian apple so would probably go with that for the name. Maybe the shop Fir bought if from had it labelled as a Sundown, but as I say I can't remember seeing them as such anywhere, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. My first linked site says "Cripps Red apples of an appropriate quality may be sold using the trademarked brand name SundownerTM", so maybe it would be more accurate to label it a Cripps Red anyway. --jjron (talk) 14:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
