• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects#Others
•  Info created & uploaded by Gmaxwell - nominated by JovanCormac
•  Info A fascinating image that is both repulsive (subject) and beautiful (composition & quality) at the same time. I've pondered whether to nominate this image for a long time, but now I'm doing it as I really believe it should become a Featured Picture for that incredible contrast alone. -- JovanCormac
•  Support As nominator. -- JovanCormac 22:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support As much as I would love to oppose this picture for its disgusting nature, I can't because of the stunning composition. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:46, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very non-aesthetic object --George Chernilevsky (talk) 08:49, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
  • But the presentation is highly aesthetic, even artistic - and this contrast is what the picture is about. -- JovanCormac 09:56, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose object is cut, central composition.--Avala (talk) 09:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

  Central compositions are the usual for this kind of shots - it's kind of pointless left/right-aligning the object when the background is entirely black. --Aqwis (talk) 10:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Why not? Good quality and presentation --Dmitry Rozhkov (talk) 10:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Aqwis (talk) 10:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support--Korall (talk) 10:43, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support. Yuck... Airwolf (talk) 11:18, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Per Airwolf. :D →Diti the penguin — 16:40, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Technically good, but IMHO not interesting enough for FP. Jacopo Werther (talk) 20:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
  • I foresaw many different oppose reasons when I nominated this, but not interesting enough was certainly not one of them. With dozens of butterfly pictures getting featured every month, and twice as many nondescript landscape shots, surely an artsy macro of a swab with earwax has to be among the more interesting nominations ever on FPC... -- JovanCormac 22:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support - well taken shot of very interesting subject. the ick adds interest - Peripitus (talk) 03:42, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special in this image --Umnik (talk) 16:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --ianaré (talk) 17:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Since the interest of this image is almost purely aesthetic, the only reason I need to state is that I don't like it. Of course, doing it wit ear wax is provocative (why not honey?). But that is gratuitous provocation which doesn't add to the value of the picture. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
  •  Question Is being “politically incorrect” a provocation? →Diti the penguin — 17:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
  •  Info - Not at all, this is just common, vulgar. To be politically incorrect is to say the king is naked. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support -fine contrast. Interesting object. --Kolossos (talk) 08:43, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose As Alvesgaspar. --Karel (talk) 16:59, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support /Daniel78 (talk) 20:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with Alvesgaspar. Lycaon (talk) 21:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, high-quality image. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose —kallerna™ 14:57, 14 September 2009 (UTC) Void according to the new rules. -- JovanCormac 11:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support good quality, educational value (used in 26 projects), wow included. I think that scope of FP is to show the world, not only to show aesthetic world. --Jklamo (talk) 15:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Not a pretty subject but IMO the lighting techniques used make it look good --Muhammad (talk) 16:21, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
