Support -- excellent picture. My only criticism is that there is a strange spot in the extreme top-left corner. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 12:43, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There are a few background spots that I will clean up in the next couple of days. :) Maedin\^talk 12:46, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The file has now been cleaned of dust spots and fibres. Uploaded over the top. Maedin\^talk 12:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - On further inspection, there does seem to be a rather pinkish cast to much of the background, which could be fixed too (although it's difficult to tell whether this is a camera error, or reflect the lighting at the time). NotFromUtrecht (talk) 13:12, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support My only criticism is of the idea of foot binding itself, which is quite disturbing.--Nanoman657 (talk) 18:14, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
