Cooler-looking crop, perhaps?

•  Neutral - I love seeing photos of spirogyra and other microscopic organisms, but it's possible to take photos of them in which their positions on the screen happen to form nicer compositions than this. I certainly won't be a killjoy and try to stop a feature, but this is not my absolute favorite microscope picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:29, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Support There's a little purple fringing, but given the magnification and the otherwise good quality, the pros far outweigh the cons. --Pine^✉ 06:07, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Although I share Ikan's ... lament, I guess ... that it would be even better cropped to a more striking pattern (see note). Daniel Case (talk) 16:32, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - To elaborate a bit, it's wonderful that we've had a bunch of microscopic pictures nominated, but I don't think every microscopic picture should be automatically featured. We should still use some criteria of sharpness and composition. Spirogyra are very common, from what I understand, so it's possible for someone with a microscope to capture lots of different configurations of them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:00, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
