Ascocoryne sarcoides2

Original - A close-up of the jelly fungus Ascocoryne sarcoides growing on a cut hardwood stump.

Reason

Clear picture of an unusual jelly fungus, meets size requirements, high EV. The last nom of a similar picture failed because some thought it wasn't sharp enough; I don't believe this close-up version suffers from that defect.

• Oppose. The edges of the fungus aren't in focus. I think they should be, given that it is not possible to see the fungus from a side angle anywhere else in the picture. Also, the picture appears to be cropped from a version of this image: I'd rather see a picture of the whole thing in its context. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 16:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose Sharpness issues on the upper right part of the fungus, but good EV nonetheless. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 02:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
