 * Support as nominator – — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:32, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment – Contrast with background lacking. Sca (talk) 00:32, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You're not going to be able to up the contrast much higher (on a white background) without blowing the highlights. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:44, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * How 'bout a gray background? Sca (talk) 01:39, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * (Aside from the fact that this background is already pretty gray) The transparent teat makes it difficult to change the colors, but I'll see what I can do
 * Medium gray. Sca (talk) 13:37, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose – Nice picture, but the rubber part is lost by being transparent. I had to zoom in and look carefully just to see what I was looking at. There are many pacifiers that have an opaque rubber section that would be nicely visible on any coloured background. Mattximus (talk) 03:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Trust me, I was looking for one. These were the only ones available at my local baby shops. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:00, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Color of background is not harmonized with baby-sucking part. Alborzagros (talk) 06:15, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose This sucks, baby. Or the other way round. The white hard plastic part doesn't show up well against the background either, and I'd like a better view of the handle too (a parent trying to comfort a screaming baby with the photographer's hand pushing them away in the background would round it off perfectly).

 * Withdraw - I'll see about setting this on a black background. We're not going to get much of a view of the handle from this angle, and any view focusing on the handle will not get the teat in good detail (and that's the most important part!) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:59, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Does the handle not fold out? Or could you at least have it partially towards the viewer; the handle is very important as this is what the baby gets hold of and uses to fling the pacifier into the dirt two seconds after you picked it up from the dirt, washed it, dried it, and put it back in their mouth (repeat). Belle (talk) 08:11, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Right, it does fold out. I think we've still got an unopened pacifier in the cabinet. I'll see what I can do when the in-laws stop using my studio as a guest room (or when I can again use the guest room as a studio). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:42, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * After three days... Sca (talk) 13:37, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Not even that; my brother-in-law lives with us permanently because works with my wife to operate a branch of the post office. He just usually uses another room. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
