• Problem Thank you for your submission. However, the FP criteria say that an image generally should be in an article for a seven days before its FPC nomination. I suggest suspending this nomination for a week. Pine^talk 05:44, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Actually the previously nominated version of this photo was used as lead image in the article from May 2010 to August 2011. Ottojula (talk) 07:02, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
• Support. Nice lead image, stable, clear EV, pleasing to the eye. Jumping out as better than most of the other stuff at FPC right now- why's no one supporting? J Milburn (talk) 14:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
