- Info created & uploaded by User:Anatoly Mikhaltsov - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:17, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support - Photograph of a beautiful desmid alga (more about the creature here). User:Anatoly Mikhaltsov, if you're still reading, please indicate the magnification, or if anyone can decipher it from the exif, add it, but if this is 63x, well, the nominee is much bigger. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:17, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support Excellent. A scale would indeed be appreciated. --Cayambe (talk) 11:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The algae is beautiful, but is all that gray area surrounding it really necessary? A square crop a little tighter might be better. Now the image looks like some new nation's flag. --Cart (talk) 13:40, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- I take your point. User:Anatoly Mikhaltsov is active today, so perhaps he'll come by and address our concerns. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Agree with Cart here. I also find the crop too large and would have preferred a square. Plus the color of this background is not neutral like grey, but slightly yellowish, so not aesthetic. I may vote later -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support Daniel Case (talk) 17:06, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Neutral Good photo, but inadequate description. More information about the species would be appreciaced. Information about the equipment, especially ocular and objective magnification and total size of the object completely lacking. Also lacking: the locality, where the photo was taken (institute and so on). --Llez (talk) 20:29, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Point well taken. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

- Support --Harlock81 (talk) 23:34, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support Amazing picture. The description should be further improved. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:14, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- I agree and left a message on the photographer's user talk page earlier today. I hope he does find the time to address our concerns. If anyone who reads Russian would like to try posting on his user talk page in Russian, that might help, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

- OK, I tried my hand at Google Translate, too. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:17, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support Still, I'd like more information. --Yann (talk) 05:03, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
