• Support – Gotta admit I like this one. Charming. (Could be cropped a bit tighter from left.) – Sca (talk) 12:43, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
• Comment Very nice, but I think the crop could be a little tighter to add value. Also could be a hint brighter. —kallerna 16:35, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

• Sorry, the balance of the crop is perfect for me! Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
