•  Oppose Unappealing composition. It would be a great QI though. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I think the composition is good. Educational and even amusing. Steven Walling 20:36, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I bit small (especially the subject), but soo cute. - Benh (talk) 18:02, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose I dont like the square format --Simonizer (talk) 18:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose It is a cute and interesting moment. The lighting is unfortunate; the main subject is too small and the picture overall is barely above 2 MB, so cropping it further would improve the composition, imho, but would make the picture smaller than the minimum recommended for FP. Shallower DOF would also help, imho. I am sorry, Mbz1. I wish you to continue getting wonderful captures and promotions of them to FP. Crapload (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I confused Mpix and MB, but I think my point still stands. Crapload (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

•  Support - Composition is fine. The subject shouldn't be the only thing in the image; surrounding context is always necessary. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:37, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
