Fourth of July fireworks behind the Washington Monument


A shot of the Washington Monument with Fourth of July fireworks in the background, very eye catching and stands out from all of the Washington Monument photos.

 * Oppose since it is unsharp in full size, and doesn't give a very good impression of the monument itself - the uneven floodlighting makes it look "dirty". --Janke | Talk 07:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The quality is much too bad in full size. Nautica Shades (talk) 10:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above. Night photography can be tricky, especially when dealing with slow shutter speeds, but I feel the quality suffers too greatly in this image. Besides, the recently nominated Washington Monument image is amazing compared to this from an encyclopedic POV, and this doesn't really illustrate the concecpt of fireworks as well as a FP should.--Andrew c 12:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Heavy grain on monument. HighInBC 14:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose - out of focus, colour noise. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 16:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per above; way too grainy and depicts neither fireworks nor the Washington Monument well. -- Tewy  21:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above, if this were to demonstrate fireworks then it would be distracted by the Washington Monument. If it were to demonstrate the Monument then it would not be so good because of the fireworks. T REX speak 01:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
