•  Oppose For my taste the light & general impression is a tad 2 dull or frowsty, apart from that i'm not to keen on flashlight aesthetics --Richard Bartz (talk) 13:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment Webster say frowsty is used 5 out of every 100,000,000 english words. I am honored that my photo received such a unique word! Tomfriedel (talk) 04:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Harsh lighting due to frontal flash. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Dull light. –Dilaudid 09:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment Thanks, I prefer this to harsh light, but am not sure I agree either. I would accept unnatural light, since a fill flash was used, but I don't see this as a big issue with the picture. Tomfriedel (talk) 04:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support --Karelj (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Great quality but i dont like the composition with the head near the left border and the light --Simonizer (talk) 09:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment Good point! I could make a version which is cropped more at the right and has more on the left, and then flip it horizontally because I think people are more comfortable with the center being more to the right. But looks like the pic isn't going to make it. Tomfriedel (talk) 04:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
