 * Support as nominator -- Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 10:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Low contrast, minimum resolution, and I don't see anything particularly striking about this image. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:19, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Low contrast? I can't imagine what you could possibly mean, in relation to the nominated photograph. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 00:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't speak for King of Hearts but possibly he means there is not enough separation ("contrast") between the subject and background... which I would call a composition/depth of field issue. Certainly the camera seems to have recorded adequate contrast. Fletcher (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What I meant was that the lighting was poor. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This picture is not "among Wikipedia's best work". It does not "illustrate the subject in a compelling way, making the viewer want to know more". It's neither "aesthetically pleasing", "impressive" or "highly informative". If we decide to illustrate the subject Alek Wek or maybe Model I'm sure we can find a better picture.--Desiderius82 (talk) 07:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose The disembodied hand and crowd of people in the background make for a cluttered, awkward composition. Fletcher (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose; not loving the crowded background, and, for me, the hand stands out more than the subject... J Milburn (talk) 12:46, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Want to bet PLW adds the image to hand? ;-)  Fletcher (talk) 12:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take that bet, but I'll also offer you odds on crowd if ur willing?! Gazhiley (talk) 08:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
