Appearance
- Reason
- Simple, yet refreshing photography. While the focal point remains on the Backspace key, the rest of the image manages to make it pleasing for the eyes. While not in its typical natural environment, it IS in a natural environment nonetheless.

- Oppose Are you serious?!? It's a backspace key popped out and placed on a rock. I don't see how it adds to the backspace article (as you said, it's not in it's natural environment) and certainly not encyclopedic. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 05:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment What do you mean it doesn't add to the article? It is a very profound and deep photograph. I am moved by its overall message. How even in the deepest wilderness, full of confusion and frustration, we can find a small Backspace key, which can undo everything. It gives us the chance to start over.

- Oppose Um, ok ... but this isn't a website for philosophical pondering, it's an encyclopedia. That's not where you'd typically find a backspace key, so it's not an encyclopedic photo. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, the whole key is not in focus, and the highlights to the right of the key are blown. --Herald Alberich 06:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose It is of very limited encyclopedic value because does not add to understanding of the subject. Backspace keys are found on keyboards, not on rocks. Cacophony 06:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose Slight DOF problems on front of key. Also there is nothing to indicated scale; perhaps the key should be beside a guitar pick or orangutan. If these problems were addressed I would support. --Bridgecross 14:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
