 * Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 15:14, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support Interesting photo with his mask-transcending pipe, but the black-and-whiteness downplays the EV a bit. Brand meister  t   16:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- Low EV from being black and white, horse is blurry, resolution is on the low side. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:42, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support. This is actually a pretty good example of propaganda photography.  B&W, shallow focus, enhanced contrast, etc. are all designed to give a heroic look.  I think the comments above are treating it as a portrait, which it isn't.  That said, I kind of agree about the horse. Chick Bowen 04:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Very encyclopedic and probably a hard pic to get, but I actually like the cropped head shot better (see article).TCO (Reviews needed) 15:18, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
