Weak support - That background arc is somewhat distracting. I much prefer Alchemist's approach of relatively plain backgrounds with no sharp lines to distract from the subject. That said, this is a good illustration. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
oppose neither are the typical crystalline structure are good visible nor the background is ok for me: too distracting. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:26, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. In addition to reasoning above, the fact that the image is B&W doesn't help it's use in describing the physical properties. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:11, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
