Support as nominatorSee clarification below as to which. --Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 03:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)- Support Was the picture published somewhere, or just here? (I couldn't spot it in "The Anatomy and Taxonomy of Protein Structure") Narayanese (talk) 08:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it certainly did appear here. I believe it was originally published in a black-and-white version, though. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 09:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- The color version was also published in Biophys.J. (1992) 63:1186 doi 0006-3495/92/11/1186/24. Dcrjsr (talk) 22:27, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

- Support Good EV. Looks great. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:24, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Strong, Strong Support Wow. I can't stop coming back to this great educational image. EV is A+ and then some. Omnibus (talk) 07:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support Nice, but there is a blemish in the upper left hand corner that should be taken care of first. --Pstanton 07:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pstanton (talk • contribs)
- Comment Thanks - done! On Wikimedia Commons is a fixed version called TriosephosphateIsomerase Ribbon pastel.png, which I have just replaced here since it's a very worthwhile but minor change. Dcrjsr (talk) 18:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support GerardM (talk) 21:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC) This is so cool
- Comment I have re-photographed the original drawing and put a higher-resolution version on Commons as shown below . That is now the version linked on the Jane S. Richardson and Ribbon diagram Wikipedia pages. Would it be appropriate to replace the candidate image above with the new high-res version? 71.111.205.107 (talk) 18:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Please comment on the high resolution version Wronkiew (talk) 06:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support high-res version. The only real critique is that it might look better witht he black point slightly higher; charcoal grey lines are easily interpreted by the eye as blurred black ones, while I'm pretty sure they're actually as sharp as you could ever wish for. But I'm not entirely convinced that the manipulation is desirable in this case, as it could lose some detail. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 11:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- CommentThis is delightful. Is there any chance of getting an uncompressed version of the new upload? Would like to try a touch of work on it. Otherwise support the new version. Best, DurovaCharge! 00:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment The original was only cropped, not downsampled. Had originally corrected the lens distortion to straighten the mat edges, and warmed the color balance a little. I recently tried fixing the slight vignetting and darkening the black lines, but ended up with a slightly less good image for the main drawing, so my preference is for the hi-res version here. Anyone should feel free to play with it, of course. Dcrjsr (talk) 02:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment This "upgraded" version doesn't really pass mustard for me. At full zoom, the edges look awfully blurry, and scream "Vectorize ME!" If others think it's worth the effort, I could probably turn it into a good SVG. Redoubts (talk) 23:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
