 * Support as nominator – ― Howard • 🌽33 14:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In a way, I'd prefer it higher resolution, so we can see the stitches. But I reall find it a bit irrestistable. Support Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 00:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't find a higher quality (complete) scan of the embroidery online, but I think that this scan serves the purpose of presenting the artwork well enough. ― Howard • 🌽33 13:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - This is a weird one, but for presentation purposes it works when the tall image template is used. I think the reproduction quality is good, and I like the uniqueness of the source work. Moonreach (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll also support the alt if that streamlines things. Moonreach (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support alt 1 Comment I saw this work when it was displayed as part of an exhibition of Parker's works in Sydney a few years ago, and this image doesn't really do it justice. While it has strong EV by capturing all of the work, it doesn't really get across that this is a huge work - it ran for about a third of the length of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. A set with this image and an image that captures the work's scale would have stronger EV and impact. Edit: that said, the EV is excellent here and the quality is high, so I can definitely support this nomination. Nick-D (talk) 22:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've found two images (here and here) that demonstrate the true scale of the embroidery, however I'm not sure if the photos are of the technical quality required for an FP. ― Howard • 🌽33 13:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Alt 1 – I rotated the image and cleaned up the edges, uploaded as Alt 1. Pinging participants . The resolution isn't high for such a large artwork, but it's still impressive. It can be replaced later with a higher resolution scan. Bammesk (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Alt 1: Thanks for editing the photo. ― Howard • 🌽33 06:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
