  • Support, although I would be careful about nominating this for FP status, if some people do not understand the ballot, there could be a recount ;) TomStar81 (Talk) 09:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, impressive image. - Mailer Diablo 21:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, great detail and image quality. --ZeWrestler Talk 21:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, very unique and a great image. --Yarnalgo 23:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose - While its a great view of the peninsula, at high res, it seems grainy and dull. Iorek85 01:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the great NASA pictures but I find this boring. There's little to set it apart from hundreds of other pictures of Earth from space. Redquark 01:30, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Redquark. Sure these pictures are nice to look at, but what does this tell us that a good map wouldn't tell us ten times better? --jjron 05:45, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • weak oppose it's nice because it puts the peninsula in context of the curvature of earth, but there is very little detail in the full res, and is therefore dissapointing to me. Debivort 06:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose per jjron and Redquark. --Bridgecross 13:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Many satellite photos such as this will and do look stunning - just not convinced what makes any one worthy of FP status Pstuart84 22:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Very good image, great details featured. Hello32020 00:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose not an execptional satellite image by any means. Stevage 05:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, nothing special, and seems a bit hazy to me. Stephen Turner (Talk) 10:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Already said, nothing special and not the best of wikipedia. --Arad 22:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per ZeWrestler. User:Sd31415/Sig 03:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support It's unique compared to typical satellite images due to the angle. Noise problem has to be fixed though...kind of distracting (but only in full-resolution). Jumping cheese Cont@ct 10:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support amazing. Mike 22:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
