[edit] Sunset

Dramatic sunset
Dramatic sunset

I know that I've nominated a lot of sunset photos in the past on FPC, but I think this one is really something special.

  • Support. Self Nom. --Fir0002 07:57, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose - The white rays at the left, which I assume are sun rays, kinda distract from the awe feeling this great shot would otherwise give. I'm open to persuasion to change my vote to 'Support' if it's established I know nothing about sunsets and this is what one would expect to be seeing, but for now I find it distracting. -- Longhair | Talk 15:06, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, though I think we have a few sunset pics featured already. — Dan | Talk 15:16, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Love an Aussie sunset. We can always delist an old pic if something new and improved comes along. --Silversmith Hewwo 18:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose, until someone explains what those white rays are. --Bernard Helmstetter 00:26, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Those 'white rays' as the description on the image says, are funnel shaped clouds (I don't know a more scientific name for them). I can upload a photo earlier (prior to sunset) in which only the strange clouds are visible. --Fir0002 05:58, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
      • The picture still looks strange to me. Neutral. --Bernard Helmstetter 17:39, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose - the white things are distracting. A curate's egg 06:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. This cloud article may be of use - but it's hard to tell exactly what type of clouds the ones in this pic are. --Silversmith Hewwo 12:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I agree about the white streaks, and also the framing seems to be a little unbalanced. Also, which article could this illustrate and add much to? Enochlau 06:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Really good picture --Nyr14 June 30, 2005 16:25 (UTC)
  • Support - I actually like the white rays; it gives the image character, methinks. Sango123 July 2, 2005 16:15 (UTC)
  • Support. Stunning - isn't that what FP is about? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 4 July 2005 23:05 (UTC)
