  • Comment The focus stacking doesn't look perfect to me - as the crystal receds from the camera, it goes in and out of focus. Time3000 (talk) 10:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment all the crystal fragmens behind the foreground crystals are allways not possible to have it sharp enough. They are simply disturbed from the foreground crystals. I wrote it was made from 20 each single photos! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Weak support I see your point - my mistake, I'm not very familiar with focus stacking. Time3000 (talk) 12:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Wow! Great picture, big EV, looks fantastic, good quality picture, very interesting! My only problem with it is that it's hard to make out individual branchs right in the middle, but this is only a small gripe and doesn't terribly detract from the picture (the EV and wow factor far outway this if it was a serious problem anyway, at least IMO).

Also, can we get a caption that's a little more descriptive? I'd like to see how it was made, without searching through the article. Also, I have another problem. The picture is only featured in the infobox and is very tiny. It's a very small part of the article and if this is to be a FP, needs to be fixed. (I still support it, if it's not changed, a weak support, sorry, but that's a major problem for me. FPs need to be FPs and need a larger focus in the article).

Info: please place the image in the gold article to an other place. It is made via a chemical transport reaction: 2 Au + 3 Cl2 at ~300-350°C --> to 2 AuCl3 and decomposition at ~700-800°C return to: 2Au + 3Cl2. I add this fact also to the image description. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:58, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
