Just a Face and a Caption: Healing Herb

While I appreciate the unusual art style, it's... so comically non-indicative. The caption isn't even that helpful, being a wall of text.

Blue Herb cures poison.

I don't like how it's in powder form, but it does say it's just an herb.

I'm not where I can look at the examples right now but I really don't have much of an issue with the current.

The suggestions aren't really any less JAFAAC-y, since they also rely on text to indicate that the herb has healing properties. If I were choosing among them and the current image, it would mostly just come down to which art style I preferred.

Would something like this indicate healing better?

I find the current better than either suggestion (the current isn't JAFAAC but the suggestions are).

That said, I think the current caption is too long.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

This is dependent on how well it scales. Athelas from LOTR, Aragorn is preparing some for Faramir. (I think).

[up] I like that one; here it is at wiki size with some judicious cropping:

No dice on the 1.x pics - they are not better than the current image&caption combination. 7&8 work for me.

The only issue with 8 is the lack of focus on the herb, but considering that problem is far less than what all other images have, it's the best one so far.

Bump; any other thoughts on 7/8?

I'll support 8 as the best suggestion so far.

8 is up, potholed and tagged (not yet on Image Source though) and an Image Links page is up as well - I didn't list 4 because the websites carrying it gave me some misgivings.

Caption or no?

If nothing else, maybe at least attribute the art to Anke Katrin Eissmann? (Also, I get the feeling the page it's on is a recipe for some kind of mixed drink. Anyone know French?) wink

No caption discussion evidently; requesting closure.
