•  Question Looks like it was heavily denoised but I'm not sure, maybe it's the reflections of the metal. But it looks kinda plasticky to me. Do you have a slightly less-denoised version? --Paolo Costa (talk) 00:40, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

  This image isn't denoised. It is true. A metal sample of 1001 smooth mirrors. It was very difficult to me to take this photo. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 01:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Support No doubt it was difficult, I was just curious :) it is very "WOW". --Paolo Costa (talk) 02:24, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Oppose I appreciate the reflections are difficult to deal with but the colours are not inerrant in the metal so misleading. How are we to compare the silver shade of this metal with another, given that so much of the room's colours are reflected? The image has clearly been cut out from its background, placed on pure white, and a false shadow applied. The scissor-sharp edges are a give-away. If this shadow were real, the metal would be darker towards the bottom. The lighting is equal from all sides, so the object has no depth. I think this is a useful image, but not at FA.

Personally, I find it extraordinary, that one can show me the Hafnium. This is the purpose of FP. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:42, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Support Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
•  Neutral The bar itself is very good and impressive to me, but I'd prefer another shadow with a smoother masking job, I find definitely better (private message)--Jebulon (talk) 16:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
