Original - A copal with few bugs inside. The piece of copal measures around four centimeters deep. The insects are trapped from 0.5 to 2 centimeters deep inside the copal. The bubbles around some of the insects indicate that they were alive and breathing, when they were trapped inside.
Reason
Beautiful high quality image showing how Copal can literally 'freeze' time.

  • Oppose poor composition, not clear enough. Nergaal (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. This has potential to be fantastic, but it just isn't. Compare it to the pictures in this category. J Milburn (talk) 16:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Info I replaced the image used in the article with the one on the right.
    That's why the nominated image is not used anymore, and the nomination should be withdrawn. Of course this other image could be nominated instead, but I am really not interested in reviews that compares apples and oranges. Copal cannot be compared to that images represented in this category. It is an absolutely different target for a photographer. It is like taking an image of a very small insect that btw is located behind the glass, and btw not a clear glass, and btw a different density glass, and btw a glass of a different curvatures. I guess I should be grateful that J Milburn did not compare my image to a category of images of dead fishes that he seems to like so much :) Oh, wait my image still could be compared to something. How about comparing it to one from this category Thank you for nomination,AmericanXplorer13, but may I please ask you to withdraw it.--Mbz1 (talk) 06:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
