  • Oppose - poor composition. I agree with Yann on Commons that this should be landscape format and the crop on the left is too tight. MER-C 04:17, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, per opposition here and at Commons, mine included. Daniel Case (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose due to motion blur / camera shake and weird colors (the latter probably due to scan from negative/slide). --Janke | Talk 10:56, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
