The illustration is way too small for FP. I do not know about the animation; it is in QuickTime format if anyone knows anything about that. Thegreenj 05:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. I uploaded this and would have nominated it for FP status if it hadn't been so small. howcheng {chat} 06:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - sorry, amazing pic but well under the size requirement. —Vanderdeckenξφ 14:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I think this is an FPC-worthy pic but for size, but who is going to make a bigger one? Pstuart84 Talk 09:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose This is a brilliant photograph but as has been mentioned simply doesn't meet the size criterion (unfortunately) --Newton2 12:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
