Rime (frost)


A striking high detail image of rime (frost) on both ends of a column-shaped snow crystal. Again, the 24 MB source file is linked on the image description page, if anyone wants to improve the sharpness/lighting/contrast.

 * Comment – It's interesting, but I can't really tell what I'm looking at. Morganfitzp
 * The giant column-shaped structure with hexagonal end-caps is a snowflake. Here's another photo of a "capped column" snowflake. The bumpy stuff on either end is the rime. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-07-24 01:14
 * Neutral (bordering Support). High image quality in magnification and an amazing image, but I remain unsure if it is suited for creditable FP status. -- AJ24 16:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What does that mean?? What is wrong with the image? High quality, amazing, and illustrates rime (frost) perfectly. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-07-24 16:44
 * Its my opinion Brian. I do not oppose the image whatsoever, I voted neutrality. -- AJ24 01:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - has the wow factor. Renata 17:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose see my hail comment. --Dschwen 17:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make any sense. It's a microscopic phenomenon, so to say that we shouldn't allow featured pictures of it because it's just toooo small is ridiculous. You can clearly see the snowflake, and you can clearly see the rime on either end of the snowflake. Where's the problem? &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-07-24 23:41
 * Support - amazing!! Looks like a manmade architectural column. Especially good with the integrated scale, although it could stand out more - Jack (talk) 21:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Great picture. Meets most FP requirements with flying colors.  Except, I think the caption could be more concise.  -Seidenstud 04:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
