Support Excellent. File:Normal gastric mucosa low mag.jpg is also good, but the curve on that one might be misleading, since it curves the opposite way to the typical. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:13, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support There is also an artifact in the larger image at the right. This image is very good and takes quite a deal of skill and equipment to produce. CFCF (talk · contribs · email) 08:31, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can you please make it clear in the caption that our gastric mucosa is not actually purple and fuschia? It should state explicitly that this tissue section was stained.-- mcshadypl ^T ^C 01:13, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done, sometimes you get so used to seeing the stains that you don't even consider that most people wouldn't know that. CFCF (talk · contribs · email) 10:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What about after some red wine? And my brother once ate so much pickled beetroot that his... no, you don't want to know ;-) -- Colin°^Talk 21:59, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - As the creator of the image, it is a bonus to see that a bunch of you see it worthy of featured picture status. Approved or not, I'm just happy that my images are tolerated on the Commons... 'cause I get much benefit out of them myself. Nephron T|C 04:58, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regretful Oppose - This is a very important subject, but:
- Nearly 10% of the image is overexposed to pure white, and over 25% of the red channel is overexposed.
- Basic contrast correction on the red and blue (predominantly the eosin and hemalum signal respectively) would greatly improve overall colour contrast.
- There is no indication of scale (either on the image or in the description).
