[edit] Turquoise Slab

Slab of turquoise in matrix showing a large variety of different colouration

Self-nomination: I think that having a picture of a single piece of turquoise that shows such a great variation in color is valuable to the turquoise article. This shows every color that turquoise can be, all in one specimen.

• Nominate and support. - Dante Alighieri | Talk 09:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose Not very striking. It is also a bit small according to current FP standards. Very good for the article, though. --Janke | Talk 10:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Neutral, for large version. --Janke | Talk 16:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• • Question. Would having it bigger be better? I artifically lowered the rez and made it smaller. I could upload a larger version. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
    • People like to be able to blow it up real big and look at the small details. Please do upload the larger version on top of this one, we have lots of hard diskspace for good pictures. I can't really tell if I like the picture or not. Making it bigger could sway my vote. Broken S 18:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I have the full-rez one on my other computer. I'll upload it on Monday morning (California time). --Dante Alighieri | Talk 09:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Even with a higher res photo, I'm not convinced it has a wow factor. enochlau (talk) 14:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose An OK pic but not interesting or striking enough for Featured - Adrian Pingstone 22:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. OK, the new image is up. 1144x2076 instead of 565x1024... that's over FOUR TIMES as big. :) As for the naysayers who say that it's not interesting enough or doesn't have the "wow" factor... I humbly submit that Featured Pictures are also those which illustrate the subject well, and need not necessarily be "wow" inducing. Personally, I think all those colors of turquoise in one slab IS wow-inducing, but I'm a rock and gem nut. ;) --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak support I like it. BrokenSegue 00:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
