  • Oppose The right side is too bright in my opinion, and the pic is quite annoying to look at in the end. - Blieusong (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
  • Comment There is a hair under "Greenland" on the third line, and a few specks of dust around the edges of the screen that should be cloned out. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:11, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I'm not a fan of product placement, but that's not why I'm opposing. I'm opposing because there is absolutely no sense of scale in the photo. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:46, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I'm not opposed to these photos per se, I just would want to see something a little more impressive and eyecatching than this one. This just looks like it's been put through a scanner. J Milburn (talk) 11:23, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The above concerns are valid, but I like the simplicity and straightforwardness of the photo. Technically it is fine, and I like the uneven lighting because it gives shadow and depth to the buttons. Fix the flaws mentioned by JJ and you got yourself a support.-RunningOnBrains(talk) 21:29, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Agreeing with JJ. Also there's something about the brightness of this photo or the white background that seem distracting. It's an adequate photo of high resolution of the subject, but that doesn't make it a featured picture, IMO. Pine (was GreenPine) talk 21:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose It is an excellent photograph. The quality is perfect, the resolution is amazing! There is only one small problem though, its not really a unique picture. It doesn't seem to me that a featured picture should be so common, there are thousands of pictures exactly like this! Dusty777 (talk) 15:35, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow, I seriously misjudged this one, but thanks for the feedback anyway. Will try to act upon suggested alterations when I have time. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd like to know what book is being displayed? Is it under copyright or public domain? — raekyt 02:13, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I see it's Moby-Dick... never mind then. ;-) — raekyt 02:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
