~~Oppose~~ I believe that the main reason Alchemist has not nominated this yet is the reflection on the right sphere. Nergaal (talk) 01:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support a reflective sphere will always have a reflection of the camera. It doesn't detract that much. —Pengo 00:01, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The least, the reflection should be cropped out somehow. Anyways, I am curious if Alchemist has anything to say about possibly getting a better picture. Nergaal (talk) 20:17, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

:-) ... perhaps in the future ... My next images: manganum and cadmium. And then ... all the other stable elements. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like this picture, it nicely shows what the material looks like. To address the above concerns about the reflection, I have created a new edit with the reflection removed. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That looks much better. Could I ask you a small favor though? Could you also remove the yellow reflection from the background glass (leave the shadow though)? That reflection is also a bit distracting and is not really related to the material pictured. Nergaal (talk) 23:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done. I also mitigated chromatic aberrations since I noticed some cyan-red fringing. Purpy Pupple (talk) 23:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support for "alternate 2". Good work. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 12:18, 10 October 2010 (UTC) P.S: If OK, then I'd like to upload the "alternate 2" over my original.[reply]

Of course it's OK, go ahead and upload it over your original. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Info: the "edit2" version is now uploaded over my original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alchemist-hp (talk • contribs) 18:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
