Comment Would prefer a photo that doesn't look like something left by a horse - even the name suggests something in that direction... ;-) --Janke | Talk 08:32, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems common for this crystal [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] it grows on porous rocks. Bammesk (talk) 02:53, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, none of those look appetizing... ;-P --Janke | Talk 10:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will say that the criterion states that the picture is required to be either "eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article", or "illustrating article content particularly well". Remember, the essence of a picture, at least in the utility of Wikipedia, is the profound portrayal of the article's subject, making it a valuable gem that paints the walls of the Parthenon of what is known as 'the Encyclopedia that anyone can edit.' There is more to the picture than what meets the eye surface-level, Janke, as the context of the article page and the relevance of the picture's content heavily determines its value. If I had a vote, I would support this picture. 61.69.172.53 (talk) 08:50, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that I'm not opposing this to become FP. I'll let others decide if it's worthy of that honor... ;-) --Janke | Talk 16:15, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's well photographed, and EV has to win out over the ugliness of what's being photographed, otherwise we put too much off the table. 21:16, 12 January 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Cuerden (talk • contribs)
