 * Support as nominator --J Milburn (talk) 22:08, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. High quality and striking portrait, excellent EV. When I saw this appear in the article, I thought it should be nominated, so I'm glad to see it here already. --Avenue (talk) 01:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Maybe missed the focus a little, but not a deal breaker. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Support Absolutely striking shot with high encyclopedic and very high quality. Cat-five - talk 05:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This snowballing support is a bit surprising. For commons this is perfect, but here, I am not sure that the composition is really the best. Would it be possible to have a crop without 20% of the right side? Nergaal (talk) 23:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support but I prefer the crop.   —  Jeff G.  ツ  19:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I prefer the original, to be honest. Much nicer looking. J Milburn (talk) 19:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, you appear to have fiddled the lighting; was that deliberate? As an aside, I am reminded of this nomination, in which the more interesting composition was featured. J Milburn (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No, that was not deliberate. All I did with Paint.NET was crop to 1393x1331 and save at 95% quality.  Would another quality setting be better in this case?    —  Jeff G.  ツ  19:47, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the current crop is too tight. It kills the composition. Try only half of the crop you did (also, save at 100%). Nergaal (talk) 00:10, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps not tight enough. It does make the composition unbalanced, but cropping the other side might fix that. --Avenue (talk) 01:56, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅, 1700px with 100% quality.  —  Jeff G.  ツ  05:30, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
