  • Support as nominatorBrent Ward 22:52, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose: subject cut-off. cannot use the picture to describe Cat. --Kalyan 09:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Not the usual Fir standard. It looks snapshotish with the dark corner and the two red lines. Plus the cat is cut and I don't really like the composition. --Dschwen 10:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - per Dschwen (who might have also meant to oppose?). --TotoBaggins 15:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Sometimes I just don't want to slap the nominator with a big fat oppose, but rather just give a detailed opinion. It's a psychological thing ;-) --Dschwen 16:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not bad, but we can certainly do better for this subject - after all, it's not a particularly hard subject to photograph. Basically, agree with Dschwen. (NOTE: Added the sig in a second edit - I forgot) Zakolantern 17:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I herebey endorse Fir taking another picture of his cat, with better composition than this one, and giving the bug thing a rest. Chick Bowen 01:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I'm not going to say this is a great photo because it's not. But can't do a reshoot because I don't have a cat (I took this one as I walked down the street) and tell you the truth I don't see why I should give the "bug thing" a rest. Thanks anyway, --Fir0002 04:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I do hope it's clear that I was joking about that. I have a phobia, but I was not making a comment about the photographs, which are obviously excellent. Chick Bowen 04:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I second that endorsement, and oppose this one, with that corner all messed, and the cut of cat. Maddie was here 02:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I second Chick Bowen's endorsement, especially about the bugs, and oppose. --Iriseyes 05:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose--Mad Max 08:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment At least it's by far better than our previous Cat FP that was kept two years ago in a FPR vote. Circeus 21:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose, Poor composition. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 00:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
