 * Support as nominator --Mbz1 (talk) 15:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, though the caption may have slightly the wrong tone. ("It is interesting", for instance.) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the suggestion about the caption. I tried to improve it. May I please ask you what do you think?--Mbz1 (talk) 23:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Better, but "The arms of the cross are becoming gradually narrower toward the end." is a bit confusing, as they appear to get narrower towards the middle. A better phrasing might be "Like the Maltese cross, the arms of the cross grow wider as they move away from the centre."
 * I've changed it. Thank you!--Mbz1 (talk) 14:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess I am reluctant to support my own image & I am flattered that Mbz1 considers it worthy. I set out to capture both the cross (one of a series which I am trying to get - there should be an article in it as they mark an ancient trackway) and to get a feel for a fairly remote area of the UK.  So Support with thanks I guess! -- Herby  talk thyme 19:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Support I love the way the cross stands out against the landscape. Colours are also spot-on (shame about all the clouds, though) and it captures the hills/tors, as well as the resevoir and its trees.  Jolly  Ω   Janner  16:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
