Reason
All of the Crepuscular pictures are of excellent quality, and I believe this one is no different.

  • Support - Very enc; you can really see the nature of these rays as light and shadow. Plus pretty. Some technical issues, but not enough to kill it. --TotoBaggins 01:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • oppose grainy and out of focus compared to other examples on that page. I don't think the fact that the rays radiate in all directions makes up for the technical issues, as it doesn't add that much enc to the image. Debivort 02:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose The thunbnail looks wonderful, but the more I expand it the more the lack of focus ruins it for me. Cacophony 04:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose That is very very very heavily blown... --antilivedT | C | G 04:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
    • I personaly think that it is exposed perfectly for such a high contrast scene. If you take a look at the histagram, you'll see equal clipping on both the highlights and shadows. But tastes vary. oh and Oppose due to sharpness and grainyness -Fcb981 04:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
      • Because the subject is the rays, I would expose this perhaps half - 1 full stop less and have a darker background. But I guess taste varies. --antilivedT | C | G 07:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - As above and I don't like the centered composition. For a picture with little enc relevance, beauty and technical quality should be outstanding, which are not. Alvesgaspar 09:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Grainy and out of focus. -Wutschwlllm 11:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Bad quality. 8thstar 00:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support A very nice picture of a rare all sky crepuscular rays with the beautiful sunset and iridescent colors. The picture represents the subject very well and has a higher resolution than most of the other pictures at the same page. --Mbz1 22:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
  • It has lower effective resolution though, because it is out of focus. Debivort 15:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose But I'm borderline. It's too grainy at full view, but it's very pretty. If it could be touched up somehow I would reverse my vote because it's such a great image. Arius Maximus 17:53, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
