• Weak Support Okay. Looks a bit "over-flashed". —αἰτίας •discussion• 21:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry but the flash is just too harsh - very strong and obvious shadow behind him. I also dislike his expression and the fact that his cloak is cut off lower RHS --Fir0002 22:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose. Posture, shadow are distracting. A decent shot but not feature-quality. Neutrality^talk 02:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose Not exactly interesting or inspiring. Plus, his sitting style is a bit... distracting. -Sharkface217 06:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose A good subject and a pretty good shot but there are much better shots of his holiness and I don't think this quite makes the cut for FPC and for the best we have to offer. Cat-five - talk 06:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
