 * Support as nominator – --- C &amp; C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment – I am leaning to support, but the colors are a bit oversaturated, can it be touched up? see for example the infobox image. Bammesk (talk) 04:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree. --- C &amp; C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 04:48, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I found a different version that appears to match the original coloration. It is a bit smaller but the compression artifacts are much less prominent. --- C &amp; C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:36, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I support either his infobox image or the nom image for EV reasons. I like to see what others think though. Bammesk (talk) 15:54, 22 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Mixed feelings. It's adorable, but relatively small, with poor focus on the subject, so I'm not sure about EV. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 17:30, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support I really like this photo. It's very well executed and has a lot of personality. As well as being a great photo of this astronaut and his dogs with some EV in its own right, it would be a useful addition to articles on the relationship between humans and animals: this extremely high achieving person clearly loves his dogs, and wanted to be photographed with them while dressed as a member of a widely (universally?) respected profession.
