Oppose Dude.. Its like.. not interesting and kinda blurry.. ^8thstar 15:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious Oppose - So many reasons. It's VERY poor quality, bad chromatic aberration, blurry, easily reproducible, ..., low enc,... --Arad 17:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sorry, but as others have mentioned, it has serious image quality issues. All the people have purple auras due to chromatic aberration. Were you using a wide angle adapter lens or something? I've got a Canon S3 IS too and never seen such bad chromatic aberration from it. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 22:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey, sorry, it was wrong of me to nominate this from the looks of things. I know nothing about photography, i didnt take the photo, and iv never seen a featured picture nomination debate before. I just liked the photo. Should have done more research :/ Jdcooper 00:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's OK. There is no problem with nominating, but something we (the voters) might go harsh on some of them. Better luck with your other FPCs. ;-) --Arad 14:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – just a snapshot. --jacobolus (t) 23:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose purple haze - I mean fringing. Debivort 00:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not clear, purple fringing. Not even close to FP quality, and that is from the photographer. Many of the problems may be due to haze in the air and in my lungs at the time. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 01:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)'[reply]
Oppose I have nothing to say that has not already been said, but when the photographer opposes, there is definitely something wrong with the situation. I forgot to sign J Are you green? 03:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC) [reply]
- Well, I'd say that when the photographer opposes, it doesn't mean there is something particularly wrong with the situation. They're just honest about their images. I've opposed some of my nominated images on occasion. Not every image we contribute to Wikipedia is destined for FP. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 16:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
