- Support --Richard Bartz 15:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support -- good composition, lighting and colour saturation. -- Korax1214 15:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- And it appears that I voted at the same instant as Richard! :) -- Korax1214 15:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral I want to support, but I'm afraid of the bright orange wood chipper. It's a great photo though. – flamurai 15:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- If I were you, I'd be more afraid of the Secret Service agent on the roof ;-) --Dschwen 15:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- That guy with the binoculars is cool --Richard Bartz 16:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- That blackbird seems to know where to hide from the SS guy. -- carol (tomes) 16:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose -- Nothing like a big dump truck in front of the white house to make a photo beautiful. DOF issues on the trees, is this image a stich? --Evilarry 12:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- It is not my job to make the subjects look as beautiful as possible. My intention is documentation for an encyclopedia. And yes, it is a stitch. --Dschwen 17:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok then i stand by my earlier comment, the stich composes images that are out of focus and the image doesn't flow. --Evilarry 19:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment per Dschwen, my understanding is that Commons supports all Wikimedia projects (including possible future ones), not just Wikipedia. -- Korax1214 (talk) 11:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

- Neutral, would be a fantastic composition except for the unfortunate positioning of the chipper/trucks :( Shereth 16:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support While it would not pass at QI due to the dust spots, it is clearly FP. (Except that it did....) -- carol (tomes) 18:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose I do not like composition. Only part of building visible. Missing wow factor at all. --Karelj 18:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Question How did you get away with plonking down a tripod in front of the White House and pointing a lens at it? --MichaelMaggs 21:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't use a tripod :-). It was a bright sunny day, and I now have a feel for the location of the entrance pupil of the lens i used. --Dschwen 22:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support, I really can't see anything that's out-of-focus. --Aqwis 23:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support, nice highly detailed image, one of few I've seen where you can see the folks on the roof. The Chipper and trucks are part of reality and this image documents reality well while being both interesting and attractive. As an aside, the descriptions are translated and the image is well categorized, tagged, and geocoded. Good work. --Gmaxwell (talk) 14:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support -- MJJR (talk) 18:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Missing the wow of an FP. Lycaon (talk) 21:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose I voted for on QIC, but I also think it misses wow. Although the subject is clearly stated as lawn, I'd have prefered the white house to take up a bit more space. Benh (talk) 23:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support composition is OK for me --βαςεLXIV™ 04:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Neutral technically not bad, but I don't like the composition. —αἰτίας •discussion• 01:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose ack Lycaon --JaGa (talk) 12:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support as per Gmaxwell's correct point - the chipper and the trucks are part of everyday life in the White House --Booksworm (talk) 11:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
result: 10 support, 5 oppose, 3 neutral => featured. Simonizer (talk) 12:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
