Original – Shear-flow vortices form as ethanol is injected into a viscous glycerol medium from the right side, and streams along the arched boundary of an air cavity. (Note, the small circular air cavity is not in the flow path.)

Reason: Was seen on Commons FPC two weeks ago, where it was featured unanimously. Rare example of good science photography on WP.

Comment That bubble needs a better explanation - is it part of the phenomenon or not? If not, what exactly is it? --Janke | Talk 09:18, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is. MER-C 17:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I edited the image caption. The circle is certainly of the same construction as the arch. Bammesk (talk) 00:48, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There may be more to it than I thought [1]. I have placed an inquiry with the uploader on Commons: [2], and I might change my vote accordingly. Pinging participants @MER-C, Janke, and David Eppstein:, Bammesk (talk) 23:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I updated the article's image caption per input from the uploader (author) at: [3], same with the description on Commons: [4]. I think the caption is detailed and unambiguous. Bammesk (talk) 01:46, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Per Janke. Visual information not readily intelligible to viewers. – Sca (talk) 13:00, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As per above. I can't tell based on the picture nor the caption what I'm even looking at. -- mcshadypl ^T^C 08:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
