[edit] Eclipse from space
From solar eclipse and solar eclipse of 2006 March 29, a gorgeous example of space photography and a one-of-a-kind shot with a definite "wow factor." And it just barely meets size requirements, too!

- Oppose that boom arm in the foreground is distracting. It takes the focus clearly away from the subject. Also, I almost wish for a wider shot so we can really see the difference in the shadow on earth. The contrast could be better (although it is probably hard to expose properly for something like that), and the resolution is borderline. The concept is clearly FP quality, but I feel like we should hold off for a better image.--Andrew c 05:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Interesting subject but pretty poor composition. A snapshot from space. --jjron 09:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose. The boom arm blocks out part of the image and is distracting. Also, I don't think that we can see enough of the eclipse. - jlao 04 08:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. Spectacular subject! I just wish we could see more eclipse and less boom. T Steinway 11:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. I would prefer something more like this (even though it's too small) that doesn't have any obstructions and shows the entire shadow. --Tewy 03:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose The composition could be better. If I hadn't known what the picture was of, I think it would've taken me a while to figure it out. — Ultor_Solis (talk • contribs) 01:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Support. Eventhough this piece of hardware disturbs the photo, subject and image are spectacular. Cyprus is easily recognizable, and this is a unique perspective to solar eclipse. I would love to see this photo without the detail from the ISS... Meelosh 23:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
