Reason: Something a bit different, the background isn't pure white so the highlights on some of the faces are easily distinguished from the background

Support Much clearer than the one above.Terri G (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Very good and very interesting, with good detail and focus throughout. On a side (probably irrelevant) note, can the background be less "pink"? Perhaps something more neutral would not clash so much with the orange subject? Maedin\^talk 20:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The background is grey? /me needs a new monitor . . . Maedin\^talk 08:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Interesting formation but not convinced this is up to "studio" standards. I'm not 100% sold on the grey background but more significantly there is a lot of unpleasant texture in the (somewhat deep) shadow. If this can be fixed my vote changes to a weak support (not keen on the pale grey bg - it's a bit half hearted) --Fir0002 07:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure of the spatial frequency you are really concerned about, so I just gave the shadow a bit of a blur etc. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:48, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
