 * Support - Very enc; you can really see the nature of these rays as light and shadow.  Plus pretty.  Some technical issues, but not enough to kill it. --TotoBaggins 01:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * oppose grainy and out of focus compared to other examples on that page. I don't think the fact that the rays radiate in all directions makes up for the technical issues, as it doesn't add that much enc to the image. Debivort 02:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose The thunbnail looks wonderful, but the more I expand it the more the lack of focus ruins it for me. Cacophony 04:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose That is very very very heavily blown... --antilivedT 04:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I personaly think that it is exposed perfectly for such a high contrast scene. If you take a look at the histagram, you'll see equal clipping on both the highlights and shadows. But tastes vary. oh and Oppose due to sharpness and grainyness -Fcb981 04:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Because the subject is the rays, I would expose this perhaps half - 1 full stop less and have a darker background. But I guess taste varies. --antilivedT 07:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As above and I don't like the centered composition. For a picture with little enc relevance, beauty and technical quality should be outstanding, which are not. Alvesgaspar 09:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Grainy and out of focus. -Wutschwlllm 11:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Bad quality. 8thstar 00:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support A very nice picture of a rare all sky crepuscular rays with the beautiful sunset and iridescent colors. The picture represents the subject very well and has a higher resolution than most of the other pictures at the same page.  --Mbz1 22:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
 * It has lower effective resolution though, because it is out of focus. Debivort 15:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose But I'm borderline. It's too grainy at full view, but it's very pretty. If it could be touched up somehow I would reverse my vote because it's such a great image. Arius Maximus 17:53, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
