Support I really like this one for some reason. It's educational (the best image we have on the subject IMO), has no major technical flaws that I can see, and is composed well. Fingers crossed! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Bof. No wow for me. Not a bad picture, just not a FP... --MAURILBERT (discuter) 17:03, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bof? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:09, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See wikt:bof#French. --Avenue (talk) 03:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Maurilbert. More a VP than an FP, IMO. -- Avenue (talk) 03:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Many little things I don't like here. 1) format: portrait would have been more appropriate 2) DOF to high, makes the image look cluttered and does not direct attention to the main subject 3) main subject too small and unclear from that angle 4) tree cropped unnecessarily just above the bottom. All in all a good picture but far from excellent for me. --Dschwen (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a good, but imo not a featured picture. And I also missed a encyclopedical meaning --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 17:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The encyclopedic meaning is the process of collecting maple sap for the syrup we eat on our pancakes, which I feel this demonstrates well. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural differences. People in Germany don't eat pancakes ;-) --Dschwen (talk) 19:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - It's certainly a fine quality educational photo, but a little lacking in wow for me to see as featured. I'd prefer a crop which included the base of the subject tree and less of the space on the right. Jonathunder (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not wowed by this picture. It's not bad but you can find trees like that in a lot of places.
