  • Support as nominator --AutomaticStrikeout (TC) 17:52, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support Good quality. Also just about the perfect time for this shot -- we see him in all of his gear, but his mask is off so he is identifiable. I'm a little concerned with the composition however. I understand that it was probably cut off just above his knees in order to keep the mask in the shot, but that leaves the composition a bit uneasy in my opinion. It may be worthwhile to message the photographer and see if he has a wider shot that shows his full body length, if anyone else agrees. Jujutacular (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Full bdy should have been better, but it would be difficult to find another one like this. — ΛΧΣ21 00:58, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support Good EV but the focus does not seem to be on his face and there is quite a bit of noise. --Muhammad(talk) 05:34, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose I just don't like the crop, and the posing seems a bit ungainly, although the latter is probably the protective equipment under his shirt as much as anything else, which is forgiveable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:35, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
