Well on most plant pages we typically show one photo only, and then link to others if there are others. At least that's how it was being done weeks ago; I'm not sure if that's how it's still being done. Also, I'm on broadband but I know most people aren't, so we should probably limit download sizes when possible. Koyaanis Qatsi
- Take a look at Spanish moss to see how another page does it. What do you think? Koyaanis Qatsi
- Linking sounds alright to me; I just wouldn't like to see an image relegated to the orphanage after some fellow wikipedian went to the trouble to scan and upload it. Mkweise 05:07 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)
- Actually, I've deleted several of my own photos after someone uploaded a better one (this happened already at blueberry and sunflower), but I see your point. I'll link them instead. Hey, Jimbo says hard drive space is cheap! :-) Koyaanis Qatsi
- IMO there's a lot to be said for a good old-fashioned artists' rendering of a plant, animal or especially a person. It lends a refreshing human touch. Mkweise 06:24 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)
- Ok, but I'm a human too and there are human decisions in how to take and present a picture--lens choice, angle of view, depth of field, distance to subject, lighting, etc. Koyaanis Qatsi, slightly miffed amateur photographer. :-)
- Didn't mean to discount the human input that goes into photography, but I still find there's something charmingly "retro" about hand drawings. (I feel the same way about acoustic instruments.) Mkweise 08:05 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)
