  • Why is the hurricane semi-transparent? MER-C 02:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Conditional opppose The photo was most likely taken during the early morning or evening hours, when the cloud contrast isn't as great, which is why the hurricane is transparent. Hence my conditional vote, if someone can fix this or find a better photo of Wilma I'd be willing to change my vote. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 04:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I think this might be a synthetic composite of Wilma and a satellite map - compare with this NOAA image... Hurricane clouds are hardly transparent, even in morning or evening? --Janke | Talk 13:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose this is a poor quality photo. Many better quality photo's exist f ima and other hurricanes. Seddon69 (talk) 22:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Much better tropical cyclone images could be found. Juliancolton The storm still blows... 23:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
