•  Info A beautifully drawn gneis. The brown color was probably already on the stone before it fell. It is rust, iron, therefore, that probably formed in a crack in the rock when air and / or water could be added. The apparent layering is a characteristic of gneiss. Due to the pressure, the minerals have fallen into parallel paths.

•  Oppose Sorry for the early oppose – its nice but I am not at all sure about the composition. Is it meant to show a) the stone’s surface as such? Then, there’s too much surrounding, too little detail on the stone and too much noise. Why not fill the entire frame with it? Or is it b) the stone within its surrounding? Then, there’s too little surrounding, no depth. In either case, this is not the best possible image that could have been taken IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 19:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Framing doesn't match description. If the subject is the layers, then the framing should be tighter, or even show just the layers IMO. - Benh (talk) 19:59, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too ordinary -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Hate to say this, but it's too ordinary: there are many more impressive rocks along the trails here in Switzerland -- Axel ^(talk) 06:21, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you for your comment. This photo is specifically about a gneiss.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:41, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment @Famberhorst: Not sure if I'm wrong (if so: forgive my geological ignorance), but I always took gneiss for one of the most common rock variants of the Alps. -- Axel ^(talk) 15:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

• Answer: @Axel Tschentscher: we went into the mountains of Switzerland with an archaeologist for a week. He knows the area like the back of his hand. All the photos that I have taken that contain something special, I first send to that archaeologist. He then makes the description with that photo. I then place that description under the photo. I think the description is correct! I therefore assume that the text is correct.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Too ordinary. -- Pofka (talk) 11:37, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Oppose As I said above, this is too poor in detail for an FP on the stone surface. Too small as well (only 4 megapixels now). Nevertheless it’s VI for sure. --Kreuzschnabel 07:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment The leucosome content is rather high; not the best example of common gneissic rock. —kallerna (talk) 10:53, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, but this looks even worse and more ordinary to me. -- Pofka (talk) 11:37, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 14:50, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
