    This is, indeed, a good candidate. A bit saturated in DSS. But good nonetheless.

    Now I am confused. I had this one and did not choose "good candidate" because in the first three frames it is square not round. woops!

    I have seen several like this that look to have an interesting structure in the lower wavelengths. Why do they appear like this?
