•  Support Very straightforward implementation of the QWERTY theme. DOF exploited to the limit of physics. --Ikiwaner 08:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Not sure about depth of field being exploited to the limit of physics, but I don't mind the blur at the corners. It serves to direct attention to the middle, and that's fine. Fg2 11:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Neutral A QI for sure. But a FP? I am not sure... --AngMoKio 12:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose It is a good and valuable photo of clinical technical quality. However, for me, some improvements should be done to make it FP-worthy with respect to visual appearance. The composition is a little boring for me and well as the ligthning. I think using a more slanted angle and deliberately use DOF to only get the focus on the QWERTY key would be better. Also I think you could use some specular light sources to better grasp the slightly bowllike depressions in each key. Something like this with respect to angle and light. It is very good Valued Image Candidate. There are also some aspects of your crop which distracts me, like the partially visible button, and the disproportionate cuts of the "Q" and "Y" keys. I consider it the most valued illustration of QWERTY on Commons. -- Slaunger 20:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting but not informative composition. --Beyond silence 13:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Why? --Karelj 21:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose As a keyboard, the crop is too tight. As a macro shot the angle does not help the DoF (which is not incidentally at a physical limit). The main redeeming quality is its artistry, but artistry alone is insufficient. -- Ram-Man 22:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
