- Comment. This is not your best- the cut off feet are a little distracting, the detail isn't enormous. Though it's slightly better than the one you replaced in some ways, I'd say the other is a little more eye-catching. As an aside, the one you replaced was a VP- if this one stays, you may want to start the wheels to get it delisted... J Milburn (talk) 21:16, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- It might be easier to throw it back in the article? My reasoning from the nomination of that doesn't really change, except that this is a better one? Noodle snacks (talk) 10:41, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. The angle of the photograph makes the subject seem two-dimensional, and it's just a little too close to the middle of the photograph - is there an uncropped version to allow for a more 'rule-of-thirds'-y cut? XeroJavelin (talk) 00:28, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
