Weak support. At first I thought the title meant this image was taken in 1867, then I realised... The image isn't perfect, but I love these kind of microscopic shots. Informative and technically advanced image.

Oppose The black background is distracting, and its a bit out of focus. JujutacularT ·

Support: Using a black background is typical for organisms such as these. Instead of distracting, it usefully allows the detail, transparencies, and colours to become apparent. I think the sharpness is acceptable. Great to see something only 8 mm long in such detail.

Oppose. A black background would be good, but the image appears to have been poorly extracted and placed on the background (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, it's not particularly detailed. I admit that in a thumbnail version, none of this matters, and it is a nice picture, but this is featurehood we're discussing here. — the Man in Question(in question) 21:22, 7 February 2010 (UTC)reply
Oppose Agree on lighting and background choices, but 8mm long only needs a macro lens and a few extension tubes to get much better quality than this.
