 * Support per nom. Sure is ugly, though. Don't you ever see any of these when you're out snapping photos in the swamp? Matt Deres (talk) 04:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hehe. Nah, unfortunately I think you've got to take them along yourself! I'll keep an eye out for the Lady of the Lake though. --jjron (talk) 07:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose because of blur. I understand that it is blurry because the turtle is under pretty murky water, but I feel like the blur detracts from the photo significantly. The freddinator (talk) 00:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Support. It is a VERY ugly animal, but who ever said only pretty animals could have featured pictures?   Spinach Dip  20:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support Ugly?! I think he's kinda cute. ;-) The only thing that detracts from the image is that stick on the top-left corner. Juliancolton The storm still blows...  20:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
