  • This is unlikely to get support here. The resolution is rather low, particularly since the subject of the image takes up a tiny portion of the frame. But then, higher resolution would just bring out more of the inherent weirdness of human skin. I'd suggest going at this in a different way, either hanging in air or against a neutral background, taken with a macro lens. Focus stacking may be necessary, as well; as it is the focus actually appears to be on the hand, with the raised portions of the pendant a tiny bit out-of-focus.

OK. Please withdraw the nom. Thanks. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:41, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • To me, this is not all that far off from FP quality. If it were perhaps a bit bigger (say 2000px wide), I would most likely support. The hand in the frame gives the viewer a size reference. It may be worth it to send the flickr user a message to see if you can get a higher resolution image. Jujutacular talk 12:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The composition seems to be fine and the subject is certainly encyclopedic, however, the main deficiencies of the image lie not only with the substandard resolution, but also the fact that basically half of the pendant is out of focus (especially the right side). As Chick Bowen mentioned, focus stacking may be the only way to remedy this. Hence I think that even a higher resolution image may not qualify for Featured Picture status.
