•  Info Renomination, dish of fruits. My photo. --Mile (talk) 10:29, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support -- Mile (talk) 10:29, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Question Would fruit normally be presented like this? Not in the UK. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

   Oppose Not sure why this has been nominated again, having failed last time (not a close decision) and no improvements have been made. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:04, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Neutral the apple almost in a state of decomposition makes the composition ugly --Wilfredor (talk) 15:30, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Kruusamägi (talk) 20:25, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Wieggy (talk) 22:00, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I do wish the apple had been fresher, though. Daniel Case (talk) 06:16, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think Wilfredor is right. Charles, fruit would be presented similarly to this in the U.S., but probably not as crowdedly. However, from my viewpoint, this is a still life, so the artist can make it look any way they want. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment imo the apple is still fresh, but it's infected with a disease like apple scab (caused by the fungus). -- Ivar (talk) 07:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Like Ivar, I think the apple is OK; the scars on the surface are a common apple disease which does not impair the apple’s taste. At least this fruit looks more interesting than the common over-perfect apples from the supermarket (which look only that perfect because they have been treated heavily with pesticides ;–). The rest of the arrangement is flawless. Small improvement to the gallery link made. --Aristeas (talk) 10:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I would have halved the apple like all the other fruits. Or is there a special reason for this? --Llez (talk) 15:03, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:45, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Tournasol7 (talk) 18:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm failing to make much sense of this arrangement - what is the intention here? It is certainly not how I would arrange fruit for people to eat - partially prepared but not entirely ready for snacking (and who would snack a lemon?). I wouldn't store it like this either, for obvious reasons. Nothing suggests it's being prepared for cooking either - like a knife or a cutting board. So surely this must be a purely "educational" shot - no, wait, why is the apple not cut? And why so many citrus fruits instead of something different like a banana? Is it art then? It a rather crowded arrangement, as Ikan already pointed out above, and if you ask me, the busy tablecloth does not help at all. Excellent food photography requires more than QI quality photography (which is certainly the case here). It requires a solid concept about choice of subject, a setting, and how to arrange the subject(s) within that setting. This one is halfway there, but there's a reason it was rejected in the 2017 nomination. --El Grafo (talk) 09:02, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Just for your information, I usually eat lemons even with their shells, it has a strong and acidic flavor that is especially dangerous for dental enamel and for this reason I drink a glass of water immediately. It is not something common but it is not completely unreasonable to think that this is a common breakfast somewhere in the world --Wilfredor (talk) 04:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough - if my drink or dish comes with a slice of lemon, I'll typically eat that too. I might have gone a bit over board there. Still, it does not feel like an attempt to illustrate a particular part of a local eating culture either. --El Grafo (talk) 11:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Normal, good quality image, but I do not see any reason for FP nomination. -- Karelj (talk) 13:23, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Colin from 2017 nomination. -- Ivar (talk) 15:58, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Ivar Poco a poco (talk) 20:12, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I have the same opinion as last time.--Ermell (talk) 17:01, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
