 * Oppose – prominent reflection of (flash?) light in the center of the image – Ilse@ 23:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support; a historic picture of an even more historical event. This picture has quite a lot of encyclopedic value to it. -- Altiris   Helios   Exeunt  07:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose, technical problems: light in center, part of frame seen at sides, keystone distortion as evidenced by frame. Also blown out sky at right. --Janke | Talk 09:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Poor image quality as per above.D-rew (talk) 15:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose The frame needs to be cropped out of the picture. I agree there seems to be some sort of reflection in the center, if someone can fix that, I'd be willing to change my vote. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 18:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
