[edit] Dew on spider web

I noticed a similar image was on FPC back in November (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Dew on Spiders Web). Although I liked that one as well, this one doesn't have the problems mentioned by the opposers. Currently featured at Dew and Adhesion, it demonstrates adhesion of water molecules to the web, as well as surface tension created by the Van der Waals forces within the water drops. Notice the larger drops at web intersections. -  BRIAN0918  02:39, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Nominate and support. It also reminded me of another Featured Picture, Image:Soda bubbles macro.jpg. -  BRIAN0918  02:39, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose -I'm sorry, I really, really want to support this but it's just much too out of focus to ignore. Also, it is worth noting that the effects of high surface tension in water owe overwhelmingly to hydrogen bonding instead of instantaneous dipole (van der waals forces) effects. Incidentally thank you for this [1] perfect addition to the UV article.--Deglr6328 06:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• This is an interesting picture, but is out of focus. Oppose. Tygar 03:45, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. A good pose, but the focus just isn't up there --Fir0002 04:11, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Support Nice shot. TomStar81 21:14, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Compression and focus aren't up to scratch. Enochlau 10:27, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. I think User:Fir0002 had quite a nice dew on web picture a few months back, but I can't help feeling that we should be able to find a similar picture which cleanly shows the full shape of an Orb web. -- Solipsist 01:49, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I have sharpened the picture somewhat. This should look better. JoJan 17:00, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • New image is much lower resolution? --jacobolus (t) 01:09, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • NOT Promoted. +2/-5. -- BRIAN0918  02:06, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
