Weak support Very good lighting, but very small size. --Muhammad(talk) 09:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It isn't unusually small? Noodle snacks (talk) 09:30, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - When cropped, the image res does become small. Was this taken at 1:1 --Muhammad(talk) 23:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - 2:1 in fact. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Downsampled quite a bit? --Muhammad(talk) 03:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Usual amount, obviously had to crop a bit given the physical size. This is clear from the dimensions ratio. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Oppose. I find the scale bar distracting and less than useful. I would support a version without the bar. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely a scale constitutes useful information? Noodle snacks (talk) 00:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think that the scale bar is necessarily the "right" way to do it. Without the caption, the bar in this image looks like someone whited out a copyright watermark or something. I don't think that the image itself needs to convey the size information. That sort of information (useful as it is) strikes me as more appropriate for a caption or body text. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support - Size seems fine to me. In fact, there are too many full res featured pics which lack sharpness. The scale bar doesn't distress me, however I think images should be independent when possible so I'd support it with either no scale bar or else 2mm notated above the bar in within the picture. -Ben pcc (talk) 00:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
