Original - A stamp under the examination of a magnifying glass
Reason
This picture adds signifigantly to the article by showing the effect of a magnifying glass on a smaller object. This images orginates from the commons, and is already featured there.
Oppose if I'd never seen a magnifying glass before, this image would be confusing. Nothing is seen at the same distance both without and with the magnifying glass. —

Response. If you'll look at the reason for nomination, you'll see "This picture adds signifigantly to the article by showing the effect of a magnifying glass on a smaller object." It's not supposed to show the magnifying glass, it's supposed to show what a magnifying glass does.

Reply to response. Yeah, but does it? The stamp viewed through the magnifying glass has been lifted up, so it's closer to the camera than the background stamps-- no wonder it looks bigger. The effect of the magnifying glass might be more effectively shown by depicting how it magnifies one of the stamps that's still in the sheet on the table.

Oppose because it's a clever image, but not a mag-nificant one. It seems to sit on the fence between being sort of encyclopedic for two different topics, but not very encyclopedic for either one. Agree with Spikebrennan's comment that the rim should be in focus for this image to be encyclopedic with respect to
magnifying lens. --
