 * Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 13:47, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose I think the image can be improved by some editing. Nergaal (talk) 18:47, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose some dust are still present and contrast can be improved partially in the upper left. Jó Kritika (talk) 04:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - issues with the photo are forgivable due to age, and I don't think it needs to be cleaned up, it is perfectly clear what is happening. The EV of the picture is high. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anoldtreeok (talk • contribs) 23:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I'm not convinced the EV is high enough to ignore the technical shortcomings. The meeting itself is only mentioned in one article, and, even then, it pretty much says "there was a photo op". J Milburn (talk) 15:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose It's just not an exceptional photo from a technical standpoint. -- mcshadypl T C  05:16, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
