 * Support as nominator --Shivashree (talk) 08:04, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Doesn't appear to be in the article the nom says it's in? gaz hiley  10:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It is in the Egg_(food) section. Shivashree (talk) 11:02, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The article is filled with so many eggs; so difficult to see on first glance. :) Jkadavoor (talk) 13:54, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It shows anatomy of the egg, so I think it fits in the anatomy section rather than being at the top. Shivashree (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * How odd - it doesn't load that picture on my computer. When I hold my mouse over the white space under the picture showing a cut away with lines pointing at each section, the bar at the bottom of my screen shows the filename, but the picture just doesn't load for me... How strange... Thank you... gaz hiley  17:01, 3 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose . The reflection of the lights is distracting. But it's an awesome topic, we need a featured picture of this! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:13, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Is that the "pawprint" looking white bits at the top? If so I Oppose as well, as I believed that to be part of the egg, and thus it is misleading... gaz hiley  16:14, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Is that really lighting? I don't think it is. Looking at this image (not a great example, but the best I could find), there are some small air bubbles on the top of the egg, while the flash is up farther front.  Spencer T♦ C 00:00, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right. This image makes it pretty clear to me: . Support, and sorry for the confusion. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:17, 5 October 2012 (UTC)


 * According to a previous discussion on Commons, it seems to be an air bubble rather than flashlight. I have left a message on the photographer's talkpage to clear the confusion here. Shivashree (talk) 05:33, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Please read the importance of the air bubble in the egg at . Jkadavoor (talk) 06:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. It's also mentioned the article per nom at Egg_(food) and well-illustrated in this SVG file. Shivashree (talk) 08:30, 5 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Based on the above information I now Support . Thanks for clarifying guys. gaz hiley  11:09, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * As new versions are showing since I voted may I just adjust my vote slightly... Support New Version with spot removed, Oppose Crop as too tight, and Oppose Original due to afore mentioned spot... gaz hiley  08:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The round shape seven white patches are air filled bubbles under soft membrane. -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 15:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Jkadavoor (talk) 16:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC).. New Version Jkadavoor (talk) 05:35, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - unique, of encyclopaedic value, and very attention-grabbing. St John Chrysostom ΔόξατωΘεώ 08:44, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 01:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can someone edit out the spot on the white surface to the lower left of the egg?  Spencer T♦ C 06:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I boldly cropped the image to deal with this. Pine✉ 20:28, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support after crop . --Pine✉ 20:28, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The crop seems too tight, makes the egg to seem larger than it actually is, isn't it? Shivashree (talk) 03:15, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The cropped version does not reflect it's volume as the shadow missing, and appears very bold with lack of 'free space'. I uploaded the new version from the original .NEF file and very little retouched by Photoshop to keep it's maximum unique colors.-- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 06:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The retouch is good although in general I prefer photos that are as authentic as possible. For that reason I prefer the original to the retouch. Since the spot on the white surface is not very relevant to the subject of the photo, I will say that I Support original and Weak support retouch and crop after the discussion and looking at the alternatives. --Pine✉ 04:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Support New Version and Original, and Oppose Crop Per above. Dusty 777 19:21, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
