  • Oppose. Unsharp. --Dschwen 15:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's pretty sharp considering it's only 3cm across. --I'ḏOne 15:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • It is pretty unsharp considering it is only 1000 pixels across. Please look at our selection of macro images to see what levels of sharpness we can expect from even smaller and non-static images. This tin drop would not have run or flown away. No reason for the low quality. --Dschwen 15:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, I have to agree with Dschwen here. J Milburn (talk) 17:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This is sorta interesting, but I'm really at a loss for how a splatter of tin illustrates the subject “tin”; other elements do that. Now, Tin whisker is related to tin and is a phenomenon that has caused notable failures that made engineering headlines, such as failures on the Space Shuttle. But we apparently don’t have a decent photograph of tin whiskers. Greg L (talk) 03:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
