Eclipse from Krasnoyarsk

This morning's solar eclipse, uploaded by new user Dmz krsk (Trofimov Alexey), and used in the fledgling article Solar eclipse on 2006 March 29. Much more striking than the average circular eclipse picture!

Oppose. Not a particularily good eclipse picture. The only thing that makes it special is beeing taken today. Clutter in the foreground (even on the sun disk), color fringes, sharpness, JPEG artifacts. --Dschwen 21:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. What purpose are the foreground power lines supposed to serve? Photographic flaws as noted by Dschwen. Insufficient caption. --Randy 21:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- They provide a sense of scale. Because of the power lines, which common experience shows us are a few feet apart, we can accurately estimate the size of the Earth's sun. I estimate at not more than four feet. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 16:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - This one had to sink in for a loooong time, but now finaly: hahahaha ;-) --Dschwen 08:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above; rather strong chromatic aberration on the powerlines. Not featured picture quality, but I'm glad to have this picture in the article. ~MDD 46 96 22:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the powerlines and the tree clutter up the image. Wizrdwarts 00:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This could have been shot from a location just a few meters away, and all the distracting elements would have been outside the image area. --Janke | Talk 06:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- very dramatic and I think the image would be to gray without the junk in the foreground --T-rex 16:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose What a shame, totally wrecked by the power lines - Adrian Pingstone 17:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't mind foreground objects provided they are placed interestingly in relation to the rest - not the case here, distracting as already mentioned. --P199 00:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We have better eclipse images --Fir0002 www 23:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. distracting. psch e mp | talk 05:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The three would've been enough to not have it be too gray. All foreground stuff clutters things up. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
