•  Info Technical macro photograph of a a 40mm Hogna radiata, Adult Female, left side. The background provide a scale by small light-blue dots (accordingly, I intentionally keeped them). I then improved the light (Gimp), and added a more readable scale (in grey). Tools use: Image:Macro A4.svg, Image:Macro scales.svg, Image:Canon PowerShot S5 IS-full.png, an Hogna radiata and a good sun. -- Yug (talk) 10:59, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Good, but not outstanding capture. Crapload (talk) 03:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose - A quality image but lacking the necessary wow. I deslike the artificial background -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

  The neutral white background is here to both avoid en:chartjunk and provide the scale. If the aim is to describe the Hogna radiata, there is no need of complex natural background which are chartjunk. For the scale, the background have doted lines with small soft dots every 0.5mm.

•  Oppose, what is the point of the background? --Aqwis (talk) 13:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

  Dots (every 0.5mm) are here to give the scale. Yug (talk) 16:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
