Chewing Gum

Original - A piece of crushed gum. Note the hard coating and soft interior. Place your nose close enough to your computer screen and you will smell its minty freshness

Edit 1 - Removed dust and scratches, removed grain from background. Selective sharpening.

Edit 2 - Downsampled to 10x6 to improve sharpness, (then upsampled again as was too small to be visible)

Alt 1

Reason

Ultra high quality, really tasty, the composition bests the like of Ansel Adams

• Oppose in the strongest way possible, no wow. Also, background too noisy, image could do with serious cleanup. I had a stab at it in Edit 1.-- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Comment. Needs size reference. I also suggest inverting, or possibly uploading the back of this photograph. Spikebrennan (talk) 12:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I can't support if it lacks Miss Piggy. Can anybody identify her? ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 03:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

She's there alright, it's a positional (and thus compositional) thing. Maybe it could be reshot from a different angle at which point we could delist and replace. Mfield (Oi!) 03:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

• Supprt Alt 1 I had the original run through a new algorithm which enhances the picture and reconstructs objects. Sorry about the colour change though. --Muhammad(talk) 04:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Nice B&W restoration. Think you may have got a bit carried away with the clone tool though. Mfield (Oi!) 04:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
