- Weak support. I've considered nominating this in the past, but the OOF bull stops it being the great picture it would be otherwise, for me. Still, compelling composition, nice focus on the matador and solid EV. J Milburn (talk) 18:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Comment. The thumbnail looks too dark to me, although the original image is fine. Wonder if they'll ever fix that bug (which is over a year old now). Kaldari (talk) 20:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose The bull isn’t a “background element” here; it is an important compositional element—part of the subject matter. Whereas it seems to be in focus in the thumbnail, it is thoroughly out of focus when one goes to the file page (before even zooming to the full extent). Greg L (talk) 22:08, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I find it acceptable at 1000px width. I wouldn't want it to feel too flat by having no differentiation of the plane of focus vs the fencing. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Question Was this featured before? I'm sure I've seen it. --I'ḏ♥One 23:54, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, on Commons. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 00:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Per my above comments and agree that the bull is very much part of the focus of this picture. JFitch (talk) 23:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
