- Comment I almost think to be a FP it should be the main picture in the article. As of now it's just one in a line of many pictures... and it doesn't seem that this "trick" one can be the main image. gren グレン 03:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- support strict white background is a bit harsh, but over all quite nice. The host article has a number of interesting images, and I don't think we should hold it against this one that it doesn't appear at the top. Debivort 06:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- support — Cool image, well-composed, the picture-in-picture does a great job in showing how this would look assembled. A beautiful picture which conveys a lot of information — as someone who has never heard of a netsuke before, much less a trick one, I was able, from this picture and its caption alone, to feel like I fully understood it almost immediately. --Fastfission 14:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- support very nice image of a beautiful object, definitely made me want to learn more about the object, which I think is a major plus in a featured picture. Mak (talk) 17:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- weak support on the plus side, it's very sharp and detailed, well laid-out and reasonably well lit. The downside - scale - is significant, as I thought at first it was about six inches across. If some form of scale or ruler was added (what the heck, there's an inset shot there already) I would change to full support. mikaul 17:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support Looks great, and it's informative about the subject in a way that words alone can't say. YechielMan 00:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, the inset picture bugs me, the background has a very unpleasant hue (which doesn't match that of the inset) and the caption doesn't help either. Maybe a composite is in order here? ~ trialsanderrors 02:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Too confusing, so not encyclopedic. Is this somehow a fastener? I can't figure out how it could be, and as such, it's not encyclopedic. I might be convinced to change my mind if the caption and article text were changed, but it isn't likely. Enuja 17:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak support Very interesting and encyclopedic pic. The PIP is a little distracting though... Jumping cheese Cont@ct 06:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Per above... 8thstar 22:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Not pleasing to the eye in my opinion. --KFP (talk | contribs) 10:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
