InfoThere are at least 2 insects trapped in that small piece of amber. Bubbles that you see are not a camera artifact. They really are present in the amber and indicate that insects were trapped while still alive and breathing.
Comment I'm really surprised that the picture was nominated 12 hours ago and so far I see only one oppose. To tell you the truth I expected to see at least 5. Well, an ant in an amber is a hard subject. Maybe you'd like a right image better? You cannot see a second insect there, but you could see a shadow of that bigger ant. If you do not like either image, I still will be interested to learn which one of them you like better, or, should I say, which one of them you dislike less.

Opposeboth The first one has harsh lighting and a bad background. The second version is a lot better, has a good wow factor, but has poor technical quality. There is a lot of jpeg artifacts (or noise?) and is not very sharp. ----Digon3talk20:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- Harsh lighting with intrusive reflections; and the amber seems to be sitting on a dirty table. --MichaelMaggs 09:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
