Weak supportA slightly less tight crop would be ideal. Nergaal (talk) 06:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Try using a crop of the original version of the alt (i.e. the one with higher res); no fingers please. Nergaal (talk) 21:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- I think that the fingers give a good sense of size. Most people have never seen a bug trapped in amber and don't know exactly how big (or small) it is. AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

- Support Alt 2 It is a more interesting picture and fingers give some sense of scale. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:43, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support Alt 2
only if the weird shadow on the left side is removed.It's a pity that the alt, which has far superior composition, doesn't have the sheer resolution of the original. Purpy Pupple (talk) 04:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC) - Support alt --Muhammad(talk) 10:30, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

- The alt looks good, but I think that cropping out a bit of the fingers (the nail at least) could improve it. Nergaal (talk) 06:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
