• Weak oppose. The composition is good, but there are artifacts, it's blurry, and the lighting is dull. A downsizing might help. --Tewy 17:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
  • It's blurry in the foreground, if that's what you mean, on purpose. It focuses on the subject. Please explain. How would a downsizing help? --Birdman1 talk/contribs 17:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Viewed in full size, the subject itself is a little blurry (look at, for instance, the eye). A downsizing would increase the overall sharpness of the image, even if it makes it smaller. --Tewy 22:40, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Oh and don't get me wrong, it's a great picture, just not quite a featured picture in my mind. --Tewy 00:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose- great picture and all, but just not FP stuff(even I could take that snapshot if I had a camera)Penubag 02:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)penubag
  • It's easy to say, but practically it's harder. Tomer T 14:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Sorry, but I don't think it's quite good enough for a FP. It just isn't very striking; I think it might be because it's a little busy; maybe it lacks some important lines or coloring, something that would bring the picture together. The reflection almost does it, but it is disturbed by the weeds. Basar 06:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not particularly sharp, and artifacty. Dull lighting could be overlooked, but not the technical flaws.--ragesoss 05:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
