 * Comment. I've struck the uses on Russian Wikipedia, which are not relevant to English language Wiki FPC (just as use on English Wiki shouldn't be relevant to Russian FPC). --jjron (talk) 12:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How was this created? Did you tone map a raw file? If so, that introduced quite a bit of noise. Do you have an unprocessed version for comparison? --Dschwen 12:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose at the moment. This is so amazingly noisy I'm not even sure it's noise I'm looking at; it's almost more like a canvas print, or like some type of filter like that has been run over it. I was even wondering if it was a photo of a painting, though it's just claiming to be a photo. It's a shame, because I really like the picture, and would support a nice version. --jjron (talk) 13:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Can we see original of this pic? M.K. (talk) 13:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Noisy and motion blurred. Would like to see original --Mothmolevna ( ©   ® ) 14:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Its almost certainly tone mapped, and not realistically at that. The noise seems consistent with noise I've seen when post-processing to dig deep into shadow detail of RAW files in Adobe Lightroom. I think its the raw processing algorithm that introduces those weird geometric shapes. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Noise, but it looks extremely cool imo 8thstar 04:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose If there was less noise/grain, I would support.  crassic ![ talk ] 05:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I would give it a Strong Support on Commons, but not here, per above. diego_pmc (talk) 20:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per above. I'd like to see it as an FP, so I might have a go at reducing the noise using an FFT filter if I have time, assuming that's OK with Anthony Ivanoff.  Time3000 (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Too much HDR effect. Not realistic. Kaldari (talk) 16:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
