  • Oppose -- Shirley you jest. Certainly we can do better in the tan lines article (we have an article dedicated to tan lines??) than a low-res dork sporting a wife-beater tan. JBarta (talk) 15:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- uhhh do we just assume this is a prank and delete it..? Walkabout12 (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's more of a wild pitch than a prank. I say let it ride. JBarta (talk) 17:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • commentActualy quite a difficult thing to get a decent photo of. You would either need a model who knew what they were doing and that tends to preclude tan lines or a photographer who was really really good at taking pics of people and we don't have many of those.©Geni 16:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Every summer I see at least four or five "tan line contests" with plenty of nice examples. A better image should not be that hard to come by. At any rate, even if this is the only tan line image on WP, it doesn't even come close to FP standards. JBarta (talk) 17:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the point of the nomination is to try and get people to find a better pic. I would suggest that November was the wrong month to try this.©Geni
  • Oppose - low resolution, unattractive, inadequately high EV. --Xijky (talk) 17:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Let's find out a featureable image of topless tan-lined female, that would be a challenge:) Brandmeister t 19:49, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Ummm.... The resolution doesn't even meet Featured Picture Criteria. Dusty777 (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Erm, guys, I thought I was clear in the "reason", this is not really a nomination, it's a challenge to all you great photographers, like the xmas tree nomination a while back. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 03:51, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • wrong time of year I suspect.©Geni 04:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Erm, this is not the place for a photo request. It's for nominations. JBarta (talk) 08:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
