 * Support good illustration. Tomer T (talk) 17:09, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Quite nice in some ways, but it's illustrating soldering iron however the soldering iron is significantly cutoff compromising EV. In terms of EV in soldering, I personally can't see that any soldering is taking place; also it's buried well down in that article without so much as an image caption. In terms of technicals, there is substantial artifacting throughout the image, particularly in darker and OOF areas. --jjron (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * What would you expect to see if soldering is taking place that you don't see in this image? Pine(talk) 07:18, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know how this type of soldering iron works (and aren't finding out much from this image or its five word image page description), but with a traditional soldering iron I'd expect to see solder for starters if soldering was taking place. I might be hard of seeing, but I honestly can't see any solder in relation to the soldering iron in this image. Surrounding elements appear to have been soldered, although the details there are largely blown out; this is another slight technical issue, but one I chose to overlook given the difficulty of lighting such reflective material. --jjron (talk) 07:59, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As I understand it this type of soldering rarely uses additional solder because the components are so small... All the solder that is needed is already on the component.
 * Oppose since we don't seem to be sure of what we're looking at, but a better caption might help. Pine(talk) 03:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
