Original – Detailed anatomical diagram including numerous overlapping vector layers of an oligochaete worm
Reason
Image is an SVG file showing precise anatomical detail in eye-catching translucent form. It's freely licensed, meets or exceeds all graphic quality requirements, has a complete English file description, is verifiable (file description contains multiple links to sources), and has some nice "wow" to it. It is the most detailed and most complex illustration of such an animal anywhere on Wikipedia: almost all other images are 2-dimensional cross-section slides or "3D" images that are nowhere near as complete.

  • Ah, Crisco! You are right. When I work on an image I of course work on it in very large scale, and I do not always do a thorough "mini-size" check before I finally tell myself, "Enough." The blue-on-blue worked (or seemed to work) rather well on a larger-size image, but in smaller size that gets lost. Let me see what I can do to revise the picture. Be right back.

  • Sometimes you just have to go with basic black. KDS4444Talk 22:50, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, prefer original A gorgeous and well-drawn diagram; I'm sure it'll appear in textbooks soon enough. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, boys, counting me that makes three votes so far... Which does not make me very optimistic. I just finished completing a refurbishing of the image in hopes of attracting more commentary-- I added in a complete circulatory system (so many capillaries!) and revamped the metanephridia to make them larger and more accurate. Still, the bloom may be off the rose by now. Which would be a shame, since I think this is probably the best diagram I've ever offered up for consideration as an FP. Shucks.

How do you like this one?
  • Hmmm. I had been aiming for a medical-style diagram like this one which has a similar blue gradient in the background. Any suggestion in comparison with mine? Maybe if I made the blue part of the gradient less intense? KDS4444Talk 03:47, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I much prefer the white background. I would always vote plain black or white background for diagrams unless the subject is always observed on that colour background. Cloud diagrams on a blue background? Yes. Worm diagrams on a blue background? No. This is obviously a bit of a personal preference though. - Zephyris Talk 10:58, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • For me, the gradient looks better. I think it's because that's how modern textbook diagrams are often displayed, whereas older ones were generally on a white background, so I think the background fits the modern-style look of an SVG. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:41, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
