Strucla

Support #2. Self Nom. --Fir0002 11:25, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2 illustrates bread; 1 is not used. --Andrew 12:39, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

As usual, I'll put the most favored photo on the bread page. For now #2 is on it because that is my personal favourite. --Fir0002 22:14, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Close-up has my support. Though it could use focus encompassing the whole lenght of the bread, the central focus is still nice. Circeus
Support #2 - yum. #1 is a bit dull (but 10 times better than I could do) -- Ian 06:21, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support #2. --brian0918  09:52, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Submit to commons instead unless someone writes an article on Strucla; on bread it's just another picture. --Andrew 01:03, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Don't you feel that Wikipedia's Featured Pictures should also be of high quality, not just illustrative? --Fir0002 08:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just so - they should be striking/high quality/etc. and add significantly to the article. This one doesn't really add significantly to bread, so regardless of how pretty it is, it doesn't belong on FP here. The commons featured pictures does not have the "add significantly" criterion; there, it's just striking that matters, so this image woule be better there. --Andrew 19:42, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose. #1 isn't striking, and focus is far too narrow on #2. —Korath (Talk) 22:29, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Nice photo, so I hope it gets promoted on commons. I agree with Andrew. Broken Segue 02:18, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No opinion on the photo, but to me, this looks like a Hefezopf (bread plait; here sprinkled with poppy seeds), a type of (usually sweet) bread common in Germany and Switzerland (and maybe elsewhere). There is a Polish kind of cake that is called "strucla", a traditional Christmas cake, but from the descriptions I have been able to find, it doesn't seem to be braided but horseshoe-shaped. Am I missing something? Lupo 10:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In my mothers cookbook (both my parents came from Poland) this type of bread is called strucla. The photos show the traditional plaiting, in particular the tapering size. I'm not sure on those other recipes, but this book had a photo so it was pretty clear. --Fir0002 22:19, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

No clear concensus - moving back to voting for a couple more days. -- Solipsist 05:36, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support - clear illustrative pic, weak support - Adrian Pingstone 07:08, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I'd like to support #2, but most of it is not in focus. - Bevo 20:43, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - very nice pictures, but not quite FP quality (not to say that half the featured pictures are FP quality; we need some thinning.) Deltabeignet 21:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
