  • Support. Very nice, but the pedant in me notices the position of her raised heel and wonders if this is a natural sleeping position. Yes, the left leg is propped up by the other leg, but hmmm. Anyway, doesn't matter, it's clearly notable regardless of how accurate it is! Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support — Diliff is right: She's faking. Typical fem.   Oink, oink! (Note to Hafs: She's waiting for someone to TRY to kiss her; then there'll be trouble!)
Serene image despite bright colors. The oleander sprig is a nice touch; it also provides a little contrast. Like the way the left foot is draped. Sca (talk) 14:28, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
