- Comment – This looks oversharpened and overprocessed. It's visually interesting but it looks unnatural to me, particularly the lighting (rendering) of the tree trunk and branches under the canopy. Bammesk (talk) 17:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose - Looking at the head, this image appears to be out of focus, and there appears to be some strange noise on the image. Weird for one of JJ's pictures. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- I'm a little worried about the diagram being misleading since it depicts the speed of light as being larger for lower frequencies. Isn't that inaccurate? hinnk (talk) 02:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- It isn't misleading. It's accurate. The fact that higher frequencies travel through more cycles, in a given time span, does not mean (or imply) that they move slower. In air all frequencies are moving at the same speed. In the prism the higher frequencies are moving slightly slower, as they should (in this case 25% slower). Also the relations between frequencies, speeds and angles of deflection are proper. Bammesk (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Cool, I'll take your word for it. This was an issue in a previous version of the image (see c:File talk:Light dispersion conceptual waves.gif) so I'm glad it's been fully corrected in the current one. hinnk (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- Reason
- Close-up detail of the faravahar, an important symbol in Zoroastrianism, as it appears on the Fire Temple of Yazd. I think the image is technically quite good, I like that this example has color (a lot of the other examples on the faravahar page are simply hewn from unadorned stone), and the mild shadows bring out the relief. Rated a Quality Image on Commons.
