Oppose - Busy background. For a product shot like this either a pure-white background is best, or showing it in use — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The background can be cut off and made pure white. Brandmeister^talk 07:18, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Never said it couldn't, but I'm not going to support on a "could" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:26, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Excellent perspective and the background provides context, and is not really very distracting. Meets all other criteria. - Mr X 20:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Crisco: it should be possible to get much better images of a flight helmet than this. The front-on perspective is also inferior to a three-quarter type perspective given that it doesn't clearly depict the face mask component of the helmet. Nick-D (talk) 11:16, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose don't really like the front-on view, and agree with Crisco that showing it in use would have more EV. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:37, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
