~~Conditional support~~ If the noise can be reduced. Totally awestruck at the view, but when viewed full-size it up it almost looks like a well-done painting due to the noise/lack of detail. Puddyglum 18:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose All The only drawback with it, after the edit, is with the detail. I think it's encyclopedic, and adds something that the other pictures in that article cannot. It's wonderful to look at, even though it's not as sharp as it could be. However, it's lacking so much detail that it really only looks good as a thumbnail.

Oppose - The view is beautiful but not so rare that we cannot wait for a better picture. The image is noisy, unsharp and lacks detail. - Alvesgaspar 18:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - as per above Matt Deres 01:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - what an incredible image. However, for FP the detail would be better, and it loses enc value by being cropped so close. It's striking that you can't immediately tell what you're looking at, but that's unfortunately contrary to what an "encyclopaedic" image is. I'd love to see other images of this subject though.
