- Oppose - Too blurred. --Janke | Talk 16:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose – Per Janke. Even for the period this image is subpar. – Sca (talk) 12:24, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment – this other photo/version appearing lower in the primary article is more worthy of becoming FP. It shows more of the crowd and identifies Lincoln with a red arrow (it needs a bit of restoration in the foreground though). In the nom image, without the red arrow, Lincoln is too ambiguous.

- Comment – I agree that this one is too blur, but it has very high encyclopedia value. But, as Bemmesk pointed out, it the another image is better, then than one is more worthy of being a FP. Frankly, its too difficult for me to figure out from this picture where Lincoln is... – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
