Support as nominator --Vicarious (talk) 15:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Whilst being quite interesting, the background is distracting. IMO, would do better at VPC --Muhammad(talk) 16:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Exactly what Muhammad said. The picture is fascinating, but technically not great because the garage door is too intrusive in the picture. I'd suggest nominating as a Valued Picture. --Pstanton (talk) 00:51, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not ready to oppose quite yet, but it's also tilted. Good luck finding a vertical element to compare it with ... ;) --HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 00:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above, but would gladly support at VPC b/c it has great EV.—Chris! _ct 04:59, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware that the (newly created) VPC existed. I don't disagree that this would be suited for it. I suppose this means I need to go list it there... Vicarious (talk) 21:21, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Cool idea, backgound and perhaps lighting needs work. Having tried this trick myself I wonder how the photographer triggered all four simultaneously. Is it a composite image? Noodle snacks (talk) 12:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps the photographer had helpers that put the mentos in and then ran out of the frame. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 15:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose Lighting and tilt issues. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 15:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - would support with tilt correction, bright/level adjustment, and cyan (maybe some green) adjustment. Xavexgoem (talk) 03:22, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've made some edits, if you're interested. Dunno how to go about that in a nom. Xavexgoem (talk) 03:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Add it below the original, calling it edit one, and stating what changes have been made. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 00:03, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
