I can't tell if the hailstone is out-of-focus, or just slippery-looking.. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking closely at it at full resolution, ~~it appears that the hailstone has a type of rime or frost (or other non-clear ice) on it, because to me~~ the edges of the hailstone still look sharp enough that it appears in focus. It could also be that the hailstone appears to have just started melting as the picture was taken, as evidenced by the flash reflection off water on various places of the hailstone. On second glance, I see where you're looking, and that might be that the hailstone was differently shaped on the side facing the camera or that the flash reflected off that face wierd.

Oppose I don't see sufficient EV to support.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There are better and more 'professional' ways of demonstrating scale. NauticaShad es 14:27, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
