Original - Apium graveolens is a plant species in the family Apiaceae, and yields two important vegetables known as celery and celeriac. Cultivars of the species have been used for centuries, whilst others have been domesticated only in the last 200-300 years. The petiole is the part consumed.
Reason
Excellent picture, showing Vascular tissue (Xylem and Phloem) and looks good under higher res.
Oppose There's zero detail other than on the vascular tissue, and the DOF problems cause too many problems with that detail.

Weak Oppose I am pleasantly surprised by the quality given its from a non-Macro Tamron zoom lens. For me, there are two issues, both of which are crucial to the success of a macro shot. Firstly, DOF (Depth of Field) is not quite right. Secondly, control of the background, the large brown section in the top right is a distraction. The background could afford to be bit darker too. A good effort, I would like to see another one with a bit more attention to detail. I'm sure it could make FP.
