I don't see how the floor is distracting given the relative brightness when compared to everything else in the image; the brick also supplies scale. Not that that's the reason it was there, which was purely for our safety given the ferocity of this reaction (along with many of it's brethren)!
191:
It may be accurately correct, and exposed properly, but the image itself is not upto FP standard for me. The floor is very distracting not to mention the huge brick on the left hand side. Not the clean precise image I would expect us to be featuring for a scientific image like this.

Wiki's video support really sucks though at the moment. They don't support h264 as they should. 1080p ogg video needs pretty ridiculous bit rates to get decent quality. This lowers the value in articles hugely in my view - no one will sit around waiting for them to load.

It is really impressive close up, but thumbnail really doesn't do it justice. Can we make the crop a bit tighter to get it a bit more visible?

I prefer the original. The alt has too tight a crop... reduces the impressiveness of the picture in my opinion. I would go for the original.

cool and useful and encyclopedic for the article is a high quality video clip of one of these reactions. Then you'd really have something.
366:-- It's a fine image, but not exceptionally useful (especially since there seem to be quite a few such images lying around). What would be
174:
It has quite a bit of blown highlights, but I believe the exposure is right, communicating sheer brightness and heat of this reaction.

I mildly prefer the original since the crop feels a little tight on the right.
