  • Support as nominator --JaakobouChalk Talk 23:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: Test tube and background totally irrelevant, microscopic image itself doesn't meet size guidelines. Joe D (talk) 03:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - poor quality, red blood cells have been shabbily cut out from another photo, enlarged and stuck on top of the image of the spermatozoa, leading to the scale being completely wrong (would someone like to find out the precise scale of sperm to red blood cells?) Not to mention the fact that the red blood cells not even being from the same photo as the sperm reduces the encyclopaedic value to zero. The test tube is almost completely irrelevant and again, low quality enlarged further than it should be. Not entertaining or visually compelling or pleasing. The licence is also dubious ("I created this work entirely by myself") - I doubt you actually took the microscope photos of the sperm or blood cells, and the test tube too. —Vanderdeckenξφ 11:48, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - static illustrations should be an SVG Thisglad (talk) 12:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Is there already any image in this field? This is a free volunteer work you know. JaakobouChalk Talk 18:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • All of the work on Wikipedia is free volunteer work. Some people spend thousands on camera equipment and release their pictures under commercial licenses here. This, by comparison was done almost entirely by computer at no cost. Plus a little more respect wouldn't hurt for the people here who are offering constructive criticism. Thisglad made a comment about making this picture an svg. Someone at the graphics lab is probably happy to help there. victorrocha (talk) 21:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Ignoring its informational/encyclopedic significance, the quality of the image is just not that great. I wouldn't label this as a featured picture. -- mcshadypl TC 00:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose and Nominate for Speedy Close because of the snowball principle. Clegs (talk) 01:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
