Reason: Photo offers a striking view (the only one on Commons) of a unique structure, conforms to technical standard, is 12 MP, and illustrates a physical phenomenon (birefringence) at colossal scale. If possible, appearance on November 4 would mark the 323rd anniversary of the death of Rasmus Bartholin who discovered birefringence.

- Why isn't it in the birefringence article, then? ;-) --Janke | Talk 15:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, for now at least I don't see much encyclopedic value in any article other than birefringence, which it isn't in. I'd actually say it has negative encyclopedic value in Sky Pool, London and Embassy Gardens and will only confuse readers rather than increasing their understanding of those topics. I'd add it to birefringence, and if it ends up being stable there, then renominate in a few weeks. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – per Calliopejen1, I support if its article placement is improved. Great photo. It should be FP on Commons too. ~~It also shows the Standing wave of the water (i.e. the "stress" caused by it), particularly in the unperturbed top half.~~ Bammesk (talk) 01:04, 19 October 2021 (UTC) . . . . Struck standing waves. At full size the lateral ridges appear to be seams in the acrylic floor. Bammesk (talk) 02:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it seems they are joints between pieces as in large public aquarium windows such as in front of the shark's pectoral fin on File:Male_whale_shark_at_Georgia_Aquarium.jpg. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 02:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
