Image:Plankton creates sea foam 2.jpg, not featured[edit]

Short description

  • Thank you, Daniel78. It is interesting to know. I'd also like to thank everybody for the looking at the other versions and sharing your opinion with me.--Mbz1 15:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • My reflection is the best part of the image. Just think about this - my reflection in plankton! Where else could you see something like this ;)--Mbz1 16:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose With the reflection, it becomes a art picture, more or less. Not a bad thing at all, but I'm personally I little stricter on the technical side for these types of pictures to balance out the lack of value. That doesn't mean it's not a great shot. - Rocket000 04:08, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your vote, Rocket000. Probably because of my limited English I could not understand what you meant under the lack of value. The image is used in four articles on English Wikipedia and is the only image of seafoam, which explains, where it comes from. The effect is studied by scientists. I would have never nominated an image, which lacks a value, or maybe you believe that the image lost its value because my reflection made it look as an art? May I please ask you to explain to me one more time what did you mean under the lack of value. Thank you.--Mbz1 04:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, I think I used the wrong word. It does indeed have encyclopedic use, I just meant that it's more artistic to me than something I would expect to find in a encyclopedia (wikis being an exception). The reflections make me focus on the picture as a piece of artistic work instead of in an educational way. My attention is on the aesthetic side when I look at it, so I hold images like this to a higher technical standard. I think a shot of this foam (either macro or a shoreline with foam) without distracting reflections could illustrate the topic better. I hope that makes sense. :) - Rocket000 05:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I'd like to talk about encyclopedic value of the image, please. The image is used in four articles. In reflection article it is the only images, which gives an introduction to Specular reflection at a curved surface. In w:Interference it is the only image which shows how Interference may occure in Nature,in w:Plankton article it is the only image, which shows how dead plankton looks, in w:Foam article it is the only image, which explains in details where seafoam comes from. Yes, IMO this image has lots of encyclopedic and educational values, and no, it is not a bad art image, but a good encyclopedic image, and I  Support the image.--Mbz1 05:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for you comment and for looking over my pictures, Simonizer. Do you believe I should add one of your choices as alternative?--Mbz1 17:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dont know, but I would support it --Simonizer 19:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
result: 5 support, 3 oppose, 0 neutral => not featured. Mywood 21:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
