•  Oppose Several issues.
  • The 3D effect is presumably no more factual than attempts to colourise b&w films. It appears you've taken a line-drawing where the lines approximate the sulci (groves) and major fissures in the brain and created cushion effect to illustrate the gyri (bumps) without reference to a real 3D subject lit appropriately.
  • This is now getting many steps removed from the original artwork that appeared in Gray's Anatomy. That work was drawn to show the lobes of the brain and not necessarily to be an accurate representation of all the surface details, which (without lobe colouring) is all this image contains. Compare with an illustration showing in detail and naming the sulci and gyri of the brain. While I'm no neurosurgeon, I'm sure that getting the details right on this is something fairly important for an educational resource.
  • I'm reluctant to feature work based on a medical illustration 100-years-old, other than as a historical curiosity. The brain hasn't changed, of course, but I would think the field of medical illustration has improved just as our maps are better than those 100 year ago.
  • The effect is overdone IMO. Like when you lean on the clarity slider in Lightroom. It's just nothing like a brain looks like, and far too distracting a background surface for anyone to annotate. -- Colin (talk) 13:39, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, I don't find the three-dimensional effect convincing or attractive. — Julian H.^✈ 13:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, per the opposers. --Tremonist (talk) 14:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per others. Looks like its best use would be as an app icon. Daniel Case (talk) 02:31, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose look flat and very unnatural, sorry -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 09:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: of too much issues, and per oposers opinions.--Jebulon (talk) 23:03, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
