  • Oh my god it's lighter than air! But seriously, do you have the original photo without the fake shadows? Does it really look that bad? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 19:57, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    It isn't a fake shadow, it is simply real :-) This photo of this sample was taken at a white glass plate. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:13, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm... I guess I have to support it then, because it is technically superb, but to be honest I'm still not crazy about the fact that it appears to be fake! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:40, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    This is simply my new design (= the wow effect?) to take photos at a glass (I have a black, white and a mirror) plate. Please take a look also for one of my other photos of an element at a white glass plate: . --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:52, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I kind of like the shadows. Perhaps it would be worth mentioning the plate in the image description, though. --Avenue (talk) 14:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
     Done description added. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Very good quality. --Avenue (talk) 14:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per Aaadddaaammm. It does look a bit fake, but zooming in you can see a bit of reflection. Like Avenue said, I think it would be a good idea to note the plate in the description.--Nanoman657 (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Your standard good chemical element specimen. -- King of ♠ 07:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
