Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Sandwich making

Reason

Didn't even mean to get involved with the Sandwich page, but you get carried away, and I could find no example, not even a bad one, of a standard English white-bread sandwich. The finished sandwich doesn't really tell you anything, it just looks like bread, hence the half-assembled state pictured. The photo is only slightly posed i.e. keeping the ingredients close together. I made several sandwiches and took about 25 shots to get one I was pleased with.

• Oppose Harsh lighting, thus not very appetizing, lacks the "wow" a FP needs. --Janke | Talk 15:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per above, and also because it just doesn't seem very representative of sandwiches as a whole; cheese and cucumber is a very unusual combination. Dr. Extreme (talk) 16:36, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - I don't find the lighting harsh - it is off-center and diffuse - rather natural window lighting I imagine. And I think cucumber sandwiches are rather common in England, no? de Bivort 18:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support FP has many food images, which lack the "wow". As a matter of fact this one has more "wow" than most other FP food images do.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per Dr. Extreme. Also, the odd rotation (about 45˚clockwise would be better) cuts off many objects and detracts from the enc.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 02:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support. Lighting is diffuse yet gives some nice gleam on the cucumbers. The non-isometric rotation is fine, it provides framing without harshness or forcefulness. All the relevant condiments are visible, since this is an study about sandwiches, not general kitchen decor. Nimur (talk) 03:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Oppose Agree with slightly harsh lightning....as for the encyclopedic value...shouldn't Lord Sandwich be more appropiate? Dengero (talk) 10:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per Mbz1. Lord sandwich wouldn't be encyclopedic for how to make a sandwich.D-rew (talk) 16:16, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support It may not showcase one of the more popular sandwiches, however, it seems to be the best looking photo in the sandwich article. Therefore, I think it adds value. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 19:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose subject is cut off, unappealing composition, no 'wow' factor. Matt Deres (talk) 20:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support. Excellent, sharp shot, perfect for Sandwich. :D\=< (talk) 22:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose This made me hungry, what the bleep. Redo this shot with R G and B and i'll support it. KICK IT UP A NOTCH! --Mike Spenard (talk) 07:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Good image, but I don't see the wow. Mangostar (talk) 17:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
