 * Oppose Nice picture but too small and oversharpened.--Svetovid 12:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Maybe slightly oversharpened but I don't find it unattractive. The colors are gorgeous, and it does meet minimum size requirements (barely). CillaИ &diams; XC 16:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is over sharpened. There are blown spots. If a larger unedited version is available, I will be glad to edit it. And the size can be larger. --Arad 21:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll try to get a hold of the photographer over at the Wikimedia Commons. -- Grandpafootsoldier 00:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose Seems small... and oversharpened. 8thstar 21:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not big enough and not clear enough. Thebestkiano 11:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Plenty big enough-it goes on the front page. I think it's perfect, and foxes are so cute. Ilikerad 20:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC))]]
 * Oppose Technical quality is low. This image has had so much processing it loses all credibility. Jeff Dahl 20:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Okay, I've gotten a hold of the photographer, but she says she is just leaving on vacation and won't be back for a few days. Would it be possible to suspend this process until she returns? -- Grandpafootsoldier 04:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably better to withdraw the nomination, and renominate if and when the new version becomes available, with a link back to this discussion. --jjron 09:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright then, Nomination withdrawn. -- Grandpafootsoldier 00:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
