  • Oppose: non-descriptive file name (that can be fixed), but doesn't really show the sparkler to advantage, so low enc. --Janke | Talk 07:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Most of the lines are blurred, I'm sure it's possible to take a less blurry sparkler pic - Adrian Pingstone 16:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support great photo, it really brings the viewer inside the subject. The blur highlights the 3-D aspect of a sparkler. Rklawton 20:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per quality of picture. Sharkface217 23:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Do you mind clarifying what you mean?NauticaShades 07:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose. It needs a better file name, and this is relatively low quality for a common subject. NauticaShades 07:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, ack nautica, common subject, easily reshootable, must be perfect, this one isnt. An the filename... --Dschwen 07:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, per Dschwen. tiZom(2¢) 22:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • WeaK Oppose - This has some room for improvment, and will need to be exceptional due to it's subject matter being so common. It shouldn't be too hard to improve this picture's quality. wtfunkymonkey 02:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose Per above --Fir0002 00:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Per all of the above, it's a great subject but there are major flaws with the shot, even though I don't think something as a filename should be held against it since that's something that can be easily changed at will. Cat-five - talk 08:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Thats just a tiny fraction of my oppose. And while it can be changed, it creates unecessary work. Anyway I thought it should be mentioned, maybe the uploader notices it, and gets the message. --Dschwen 08:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Support It could be better if someone fixes up how it gets kinda grainy when it is at full size. Otherwise, great photo. Ilikefood 01:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
