Bamboo

  •  Comment Please learn to stick to the guidelines, you keep setting bad examples/precedents for new users. An unidentified image of an organism is NOT eligible for FP, nor is an undersized image. Mitigation is for border cases not for flagrant flaunting of the guidelines. Lycaon (talk) 13:54, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This is not an image of an organism. Its subject is light, line, and form, not literal encyclopedic presentation. There is no need to identify the organism. Fg2 (talk) 20:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Can you do it without taking away the light, line and form? The point is that the identity of the organism is only necessary if this photo is to be used in an encyclopedia or factual article about bamboo. A photograph can stand on its own as a concept or mood or abstract without being an encyclopedic illustration of a particular species of organism. In addition to abstract uses, it can form the background for text in a cover page for a Wiki book. It can become a poster. Photographs have many uses other than as encyclopedia illustrations.
