*'''Weak Support'''. The angle is kind of akward, and the sword dance is blurry (but that's understandable; they're moving!), and that detracts from its EV, but it's the best illustration of a sword dance on the page, and the quality is good. What sells it are the expressions on the onlookers' faces. [[User:Intothewoods29|Intothewoods29]] ([[User talk:Intothewoods29|talk]]) 16:02, 29 July 2008 (UTC) |
