 * Support as nominator --Michael miceli (talk) 00:35, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - there's a certain amount of JPEG artefacting, but it's minor, and the image is amply sized to make up for it. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 06:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the crop is too tight for me. I'm not bothered about the bow being cut off, but the end of the violin is also out of the frame, which is very distracting, not to mention detracting from EV.  Time3000 (talk) 18:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Good shot, also how a tight crop cutting out the violin can damage EV of the person is beyond me, its not illustrating fiddling --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  21:44, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * He's a fiddler, and therefore his fingering is pretty important - I know he's only going to be doing the same as every other violinist, but it would still be useful to show the whole of him and his fiddle. But my main reason for opposing was that it's so distracting.  Time3000 (talk) 08:37, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that the shot would be too wide with the full fiddle in view. The shot is focusing on who Michael Doucet is and how intense his playing is.Michael miceli (talk) 15:47, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose not a fp material in my opinion --Avala (talk) 23:06, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support per Childzy. The crop bothers me, but the emotion on his face is a big piece of the EV. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Time3000.  upstate NYer  03:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Not appropriately framed.  Franklin.vp   02:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose dark and dreary, with distraction in the lower right, and yes, the crop. User:Nezzadar (speak) 20:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per Chidsy. I don't understand the opposes here. His arm and instrument generate a very nice dynamic, drawing the eye to the centered face which is the whole point of the nomination. Exposure and lighting are lovely. A fine portrait that looks good as a thumb and rewards closer inspection. --mikaultalk 22:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support contributes to the the article by showing emotional characteristic while performing. The attention is on the performing and not the fiddle, so the crop does not bother me. --Chrismiceli (talk) 23:25, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
