• Support Great capture to the photographer, great find to the nominator. Can you move this picture up in the article, and the one on the left down, but make the thumb a bit bigger? I will if no-one else finds the time. A little formatting of the picture in the article would be nice.-- Blechnic ( talk) 22:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC) reply
