  • Oppose — The POV is weird...for a flag picture, I'd prefer something face-on. tiZom(2¢) 20:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose, not the best Wikipedia offers.--Svetovid 23:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Per above, and not to forget that if we feature one flag, we'll sooner or later have to feature all... --Janke | Talk 06:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose subject isn't that interesting. While as a photo, it is relatively interesting in the angle and mood. The photo itself is dynamic, but as an encyclopedic subject, and the best of wikipedia, I do not feel this image is spectacular. For example, we could change the subject to any number of other flags, but keep the angle and similar sky. Hypothetically we could have hundreds and hundreds of featured pictures. Also, I'm not too found of the blotchy color noise at 100%. Also, the little lighter grey circle in the clouds towards the top of the frame looks weird in the thumbnail.-Andrew c 16:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
