Original - Macro of native copper about 1 ½ inches (4 cm) in size.
Reason
Beautiful picture, interesting to see how copper looks like in native form; even though not 1000px, still excellent (quite high resolution). Before cropping from File:Native Copper Macro Digon3.jpg, was 4000 x 2688 px, but too much whitespace. Alternative FP File:Cu-Scheibe.JPG isn't as interesting as this, and this picture is considered more encyclopaedic than Cu-Sheibe.JPG. Lanthanum-138 ( talk) 08:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose –- sharpness is very poor. NotFromUtrecht ( talk) 08:51, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Weak oppose I like the idea, but the depth of field is too low. Parts are in focus, and other parts are not in focus. You could try some focus stacking. Aaadddaaammm ( talk) 14:24, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Now it is > 1000x1000 px. Lanthanum-138 ( talk) 15:06, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose The quality isn't up to our normal element pictures, Copper is super easy to obtain so getting a high quality image is achievable, third, we have copper FP, although it's a crystal pattern. And finally this isn't pure copper, it's native copper, so it should not be in the infobox for the element page. —  raeky t 16:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose. Great potential; I like the specimen (if that's the right word?) and it has clear EV, but I just don't think the photo is up to scratch, technically, as above. It doesn't really compare with our other element FPs. J Milburn ( talk) 18:33, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply
