•  Neutral Very interesting indeed. It is probably hard to produce a better image of the same subject, although the overall image quality is not on par with what we are spoiled with showing more macroscopic objects. I am concerned though that users not knowledgeable in the field would have a hard time understanding what is going on here. I prefer if an FP tells its story by itself. For me, an FP illustrating HIV on a macrophage would probably be a drawn vector-graphics schematic instead. Had I seen the image without an explanation I could as easily have guessed it was an image of a stellar cluster captured by the Hubble telescope or something like that... --Slaunger (talk) 18:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral per Slaunger. It is a wonderful image, but if it weren't for the file name I would have no idea what it is supposed to be. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
