- Support as nominator --Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:57, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support I had considered re-nominating this as well. Jujutacular talk 18:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't see aything special about this image at all. The background is horrific and very distracting. The focus is not perfect. This could easily be redone to a much higher standard. JFitch (talk) 01:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. Something about this, be it the lighting, background or whatever, gives the false impression that this is a very old photograph. It just doesn't look right to me. J Milburn (talk) 08:11, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support Even if you don't like the background, I, personally, do, it's still quite good as it is (especially the shadows; the fantastic shadows.). Gekkey Mathews (talk) 17:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't find anything particularly well done about this picture. -- Diego_pmc Talk 19:40, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
