 * Support. I always wanted to be... a lion tamer! Nautica Shad es  13:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support It seems to be encyclopedic and looks good even though I am reluctant to support a retouched image without a full size original (the only other version appears to be significantly smaller) so that we can see exactly how much this was touched up.

 * Weak oppose -Artistically this picture is nice, but I cannot see any EV. It's totally unrealistic and doesn't show what lion taming is about. Moreover, I don't feel it can urge anyone to read the article. This topic would call for a more realistic illustration. --Desiderius82 (talk) 19:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
