- Oppose Insufficient dynamic range -- too much clipped out-of-range at bottom and top end. -- Colin°Talk 12:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- Support - I believe there is sufficient dynamic range in this image. In terms of actual highlight and shadow clipping, the only highlight clipping is in the lights themselves (which is entirely expected) and shadow clipping is limited to the prompter's box on the stage. Perhaps the photo seems a bit overexposed. I have offered an edit with mild curves adjustments should it allay some concerns, but I prefer the original.

- You can't fix exposure problems on a JPG. What's clipped is clipped. I doubt even the raw file has the dynamic range needed. This really needs HDR techniques. If it were one or two light clipped then I'd let it pass, but the lighting is a feature and there is no detail in the lamps. -- Colin°Talk 18:56, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
