 * Question: Are we allowed to touch up the blown highlights? I know that this is common with metal objects, but the one to the far left is just a little too blown for my liking. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Should be ok prov. subject isn't misrepresented. However, you aren't actually adding information, so I don't really see the point.  JJ Harrison (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Just concerned as the huge white area on the one clipper is visible even at thumbnail view. A touch-up would be nice, to make it a bit less obvious. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Blown highlights aren't a big deal imo. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Great quality, agree with JJ that the blown highlights have a minimal effect.  Jujutacular  talk 18:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support, for reasons expressed above. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support per above. Lacks a bit of wow, not that concerned about blown highlights costing detail (what are we missing?), but on the other hand they are pretty substantial. --jjron (talk) 13:48, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how much "wow" we're going to get in a picture of nail clippers. Though, if you look at the image close up, the detail is definitely kinda cool. JBarta (talk) 01:33, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, but that's kind of my point - it's a bit a 'non-wow' topic. Perhaps we could get something like it actually clipping a nail with a piece of toenail flying or something. :) --jjron (talk) 04:13, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Though not "beautiful", this is the difference between a Wikipedia and commons featured pic: we look for the encyclopedic value, and this image definitely has that. Outstanding quality. Puchiko (Talk-email) 12:17, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
