  • Oppose due to blown out highlights in sky and part of hut wall. Do you have a slightly darker version? --Janke | Talk 08:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately no. Could it be edited?--Vircabutar 08:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
No editing can bring "back" something that isn't in the original image. It can be darkened, yes, but the sky and part of the wall will still be stark white. Sorry... --Janke | Talk 08:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, BOH and subject is cut. --Dschwen 10:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose due to roof being cut-off. A shame, if you had got less of the dirt out front, you could have got all the roof. They're really interesting houses. BTW image is in Batak (Indonesia) article, not Batak article. --jjron 11:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Very cool subject, bad framing and blown out highlights. I have noticed that on auto settings Cannon PowerShot cameras tend to have blow-out highlights pretty bad. I was pretty peeved when I dowloaded Image:Starflower.jpg and the flower was blown out. Looked fine on my LCD.-Ravedave 16:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I like the subject, but yeah, cut off at top, overbright. --Golbez 08:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Framing is the main problem, but image quality is a bit low, too. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 08:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose As above --Fir0002 www 10:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Nice picture but as Diliff pointed out framing is the main problem. Anonymous_anonymous_Have a Nice Day 19:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Framing and image quality. --Mad Max 04:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Fantastic subject. Maybe you could retake it, making sure the whole house is in the frame? Oppose for now. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose House cut off at uppermost right, overexposed in left part. Try to retake with a better angle. Advanced 17:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. I like this picture, and I think the only thing that could have improved it would be to show the whole roof, but too late! I like this picture anyways though. It's interesting and "encyclopedic" because it shows the housing of another culture. fpwannabe
