Support - wow, there aren't many images that make me as curious as this one did! Intothewoods29 (talk) 06:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very intriguing image! It's also quite large: with some dust removal it seems like a possible featured picture candidate. Fletcher (talk) 12:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It has actually failed two previous FPC nominations, complaints being that it looks like a glass ball, or that "its difficult to understand", a few comments about the dust too. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, never mind then! Thanks. Fletcher (talk) 12:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
