• Nice picture, but I actually like the one here [1] even more. Otto Jula (talk) 16:14, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

• I'm not especially keen on that one; the lighting seems off. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose Great picture, there however seems to be some parts near the eye that are marginally OOF. Also, the fact that the eye is closed, reduces the EV. Please correct me if I'm being too harsh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hariya1234 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
