 * Comment A tighter crop would probably help. The present composition is great, given what the photographer had to work with, but this is mostly a picture of sand and grass. Shroomydan (talk) 05:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose, sorry. It's not blowing me away, seems a little lacking. J Milburn (talk) 10:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not an actionable rationale. To be a valid oppose, it's got to specify what needs improving. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 10:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I do not consider the composition compelling, and the environment is uninspiring and unnatural. WIAFP 1.3, 3.2 and, in a way, 6. Stood upon a rock, with a different background, this would be a great candidate. As it is... J Milburn (talk) 11:11, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose, the composition and choice of depth-of-field does not sufficiently isolate the subject and present it in a manner that draws one's attention to it. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:34, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose there is no wow factor here; a bit too mundane. Nergaal (talk) 09:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
