• Support as nominator – Brandmeister^talk 18:18, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
• Comment – Meh. Sca (talk) 13:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose - Would prefer an image with a background rather than floating in space. Kaldari (talk) 21:04, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

• Would you mind answering why you think a white background isn't a background? 344917661X (talk) 01:46, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

• Comment and it's upside down. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Charles, you notice everything! – Sca (talk) 12:40, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Support – agree with Kaldari about background or some shadow, but well done otherwise and EV. Bammesk (talk) 00:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support I find the argument that an image needs to have a proper background in order to be promoted to FPS to be stupid, since the featured picture criteria does not say that an image requires a proper background in order to be promoted, and a white background is still a background nonetheless. The arguments above, including the one I mentioned before, are extremely nit-picky. 344917661X (talk) 02:37, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support. I'm not a fan of the noise/artifacts on the shiny surface, but this is a fairly minor nitpick. MER-C 18:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose – I would normally support, but it is upside-down... Candy apples are not eaten with the stick up. Mattximus (talk) 13:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

• I see it as how it is served [1] rather than eaten. Bammesk (talk) 14:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

• I agree with Bammesk. When Candy apples are on display, they are usually upside down, like the one in the image that has been nominated. 344917661X (talk) 19:17, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

• This would be less confusing if the image had a background. Then you could tell if it was being served or eaten or something else. Kaldari (talk) 02:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
