- Oppose - Would be better without the background, size already mentioned in caption. There also are some droplets (not mercury) on/in the glass, looks like contamination. Here's a pristine example, as I'm used to see them: [[1]] --Janke | Talk 19:52, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support It could be sharper, and is a bit grainy, but presuming that's normal for objects of this size, we're good. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 23:55, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose per Janke. At fuller resolution the background isn't as distracting, but at thumbnail size it makes it hard to concentrate on the subject of this photograph. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
