 * Oppose all per below-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 21:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral Nice content, but colors are washed out too much. Pteronura brasiliensis (talk) 18:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose, it's only used in galleries. The EV is questionable at best, and I see no reason why a stronger modern shot would not be preferable. J Milburn (talk) 00:58, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, a stronger modern shot would not be preferable because the place now looks much worse . Purpy Pupple (talk) 07:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose I don't believe this would pass if it was a modern shot. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Although the image does have some EV on historical grounds, it is neither particularly eye-catching nor does it have very good image quality. Purpy Pupple (talk) 07:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose alternates -- they look overcooked, are hard on the eyes, and lose significant detail in the shadow area. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The alternates by GreatOrangePumpkin have been removed, and it would seem very strange for me to strongly oppose my own edit :P Purpy Pupple (talk) 01:10, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I made my own retouched version, as a proof of concept of what retouching, in my opinion, should be like. Purpy Pupple (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I note some of the alts have sloppy sourcing/author info, or lack it entirely. Please be careful, and please take those details seriously. J Milburn (talk) 01:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems that the sloppy alts have been removed and the remaining one that I made has correct sourcing/author info as far as I know. Purpy Pupple (talk) 01:10, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose all Not FP quality. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 14:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
