  • Guttation or Dew? Time to decide for one or the other. --Dschwen 22:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the spacing only on the tufts, I'd bet it's the former. de Bivort 21:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, but that might also be due to the tufts acting as drip stoppers... --Dschwen 14:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A drip stopper at the very top shouldn't catch too much, but like I said ... just my intuition. de Bivort 15:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks good. Support. Acalamari 15:56, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Capital. ¢rassic! (talk) 23:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nice image - needs clarification on what it is representing per Dschwen. Mfield (talk) 03:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice shot. I also think this is a pretty good example of a natural convex lens and it might be worth adding it in Lens (optics); possibly as a replacement for Image:GGB reflection in raindrops.jpg which IMO doesn't work as well as this for an example of lenses in nature since the droplets are on a man-made surface (glass). --Fir0002 07:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Fir0002. - Darwinek (talk) 19:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Good quality, and, as Fir0002 pointed out, quite encyclopedic. NauticaShades 00:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support But it sure looks like an example of guttation, not dew. Please rename. --Blechnic (talk) 06:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice image, high quality. SpencerT♦C 01:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
