- Ooops!I'm really sorry. Guess i looked at it really fast and forgot that i was looking at a preview and not the whole image.Nnfolz 22:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, very noisy, and the team at the bottom is not nearly sharp enough. Excellent composition, but serious technical flaws.--ragesoss 15:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - quite noisy, and the composition isn't that great - the flags at the bottom are sort of half-in, half-out. Similar deal with the people, perhaps some cropping could help here. And of course the central point of the whole photo - the flame - is completely blown out. Stevage 21:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- i don't see anything wrong with the composition -Nelro 12:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Ragesoss and Stevage. --KFP (talk | contribs) 15:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
