Diesel rainbow

 * Reason:I was very pleased with how this worked out. The diesel was fresh and smelly. I took it on my Fuji Finepix and cropped and rotated it to this composition, which turns it into a rainbow. What do you think?

 * Comment Oppose The sidewalk in the bottom third is distracting. I would support this if it were cropped to just include the rainbow, and if the resulting image was still large enough (at least 1 MP, and 2 MP is better). It also needs a more detailed caption. --Asiir 20:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I tried a couple of tighter crops. As to the size, that is all the size I have, regrettably. --Guinnog 21:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed to oppose -- it just needs to be bigger for an FP. Still, overall I really like it as a picture. --Asiir 12:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Huh, what?!? Needs a caption. This looks like one of those tie-dyes on Telegraph. ~ trialsanderrors 23:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too small, the FPC rules say 1000 pixels minimum in one dimension (unless the pic is historical) - Adrian Pingstone 23:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The original is 976, which is not far off 1000. --Guinnog 01:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I was looking at a variant. However, with digital cameras easily producing pictures 2000 or more pixels wide there's no reason (apart from heavy cropping) for a small pic. But I do think it's a fascinating picture - Adrian Pingstone 08:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose Great idea, poor execution. Try again with a higher quality picture and I'll upvote for sure :) Jellocube27 07:04, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment for a more enc. caption, you could mention that this is an example of Iridescence. --Bridgecross 16:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
