  • Oppose - Uninteresting subject, inferior composition. -- Grandpafootsoldier 03:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. This needs strong context and explanation to have any meaning as the image itself is quite nondescript, but it doesn't however inspire me to read the articles to find out more. Therefore it's not passing as an FPC for me. In thumbnail it's hard to even tell what is in the picture at all. Only just scrapes into size requirements. --jjron 16:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No decision made by closer. Can we assume Not promoted? --jjron 07:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am assuming that that is the result. Spikebrennan 14:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
