•  Info Mangosteen fruits in a grocery store, Colatina, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Created, uploaded and nominated by ★ -- ★ 20:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 23:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose QI but not FP. Corner sharpness is not very good and I just don't find the forms and shapes here that interesting. We have seen a lot of these pictures of lots of fruit arranged in a grid and I want to see something different. Cmao20 (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support I quite like the compo which negates the corner sharpness. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:35, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  I positioned the fruits myself to create an impression of a Battleship puzzle field. ★ 16:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps this would be better received if you used the Commons:Featured pictures/Photo techniques/Styles and Techniques#Texture photography instead? It's up to you. --Cart (talk) 18:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm still considering to replace it. Let's wait a bit. ★ 10:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I decided to keep the category, since my other previous fruit FPs also belong to the same one. ★ 02:24, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support This one is better executed than ArionStar's former candidates. Here (finally) I also have the feeling of an endless pattern. FP to me Poco a poco (talk) 07:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Cmao20. -- Karelj (talk) 09:20, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Somehow this photo gives me a big “wow” – probably because of the strong colours contrasting with the black I first thought this was some modernist artwork, and even after realizing that it is a photo I really like this one. – Aristeas (talk) 09:57, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
•  fake support I would like to support this photo, but since I assisted Arion in applying a sharpness filter, I'm not sure if it's morally right for me to participate and endorse the image myself. That being said, some might think the photo is oversaturated, but that's not the case. One thing Arion and I discussed is how vibrant the colors in Brazil are compared to other places. I love this picture --Wilfredor (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak support - "weak" only because it looks a little oversaturated compared to other photos of mangosteens I've seen. The pattern/motif is good, though. As an aside, I just tried these for the first time a few months ago. Technically they're illegal to import to the US for agricultural reasons, but you can find people selling them on the street in Chinatown (NYC). For as much as they're heralded as the "king of fruits", I didn't really care for them. I wonder if that's just because they had to be frozen (and probably picked too early) in order to ship them to the US. I know that's the case with durians -- we get underripe frozen ones that rot instead of ripen (hard to tell the difference, though :) ). — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
