Oppose Some colorful noise here and there, but the dealbreaker is the low enc value. Try Commons.--Here T oHelp 15:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Agree with heretohelp. Stunning and beautiful pic, but low encyclopedicality. Might pass in Commons, Jumping cheese 18:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- I wonder, if you see more "encyclopedicality" in that nomination and if you do could you please explain why, and if you do not why you've never opposed it?--Mbz1 21:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
  - No one has an obligation to vote; it's a courtesy that people are taking time out to give you feedback on your picture. J Are you green? 21:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
    - Thanks form your time, J. How nice of you to give such "a courtesy" to me and to answer the question that was not even addressed to you. --69.181.181.226 22:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
Oppose. Since it sounds like the photographer wants feedback - I think that this picture and the one you linked to have approximately the same amount of enc value. And yours may be more artistic and a nicer shot overall. However, I would personally oppose them both because as other people have said, while a truly beautiful shot, I don't think its enc value lets it be one of the best pictures on Wikipedia.
