•  Oppose QI but FP? The chance has been missed to give the picture maximum value (studioshot). Attached find a food reference which maybe inspires you to offer me more than only a lonely & centered plant. Best regards.   • Richard • [®] • 07:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Thank you for your review. I had planned to take several pictures at the weekend, including cut/sliced onions and perhaps combined group shots. I ran out of daylight/time. In defense of this picture, it is a picture of a single whole onion. A picture of a group of onions, some cut, is a different picture. Like saying "That's a nice picture of a person, but I prefer group photographs". A collection photograph would be great too, and some may prefer it. But I think the world, and Commons, still needs a great picture of a whole onion. Since an onion is a circular veg, I don't see a strong case for off-centring it on a rule-of-thirds boundary simply for artistic purposes. As the background is white, anyone using this image can, of course, place it where they like within a frame. Commons can have more than one FP of onions. I may take and nominate a group shot like you suggest, but I'd still like this one to be considered on its "singular" merits. Colin (talk) 10:03, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
