•  Support I think it is a very nice illustration of a trumpet piston valve. Especially the exploded view on the RHS is well made, the techniques in the montage and background removal is good, the overall image quality and lightning is good as well. Only a pity that the valve appear worn and smudged. I think you could have achieved a better result if each part had been carefully polished and cleaned before doing the photos, but the overall result is still good enough for me. --Slaunger (talk) 22:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

  I wouldn't apply anything but valve oil on the sliding part, and I certainly wouldn't perform any "mechanical" process on it, it is a precision mechanism. But the inside is dirty, yes, however it is really a pain in the neck to clean those little parts. For info I have already spent more than an hour cleaning the instrument before shooting. --Eusebius (talk) 05:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

  •  CommentI see your point and I also think it is satisfactory as is - otherwise I would not have supported in the first place. --Slaunger (talk) 19:11, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

  I'll probably nominate it at VI as well, with other candidates. --Eusebius (talk) 12:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Support We need more and better illustrations. Graphics as a category are underrepresented.. And "valued images" is not valued at all. GerardM (talk) 08:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
