 * Oppose. Although the scene is quite nice and the image is very valuable in illustrating the Sands of Samar, the image is plagued with several issues: significant and noticeable JPEG compression artifacts; poor sharpness; what appears to be a wavy horizon (esp. on the left); and low overall resolution (only 536 pixels of height).

 * Oppose I would have supported from the thumbnail, but Purpy Pupple said why not. JJ Harrison (talk) 10:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I agree with those that object. I can't articulate my objections, except that those large, stretched out (panorama)s are hard to made pleasing and informational to the viewer. All the mounds are hard to distinguish from each other.  MathewTownsend (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose per compression artifacts. Great scene though, any chance there's an uncompressed version somewhere? - Running On Brains (talk) 06:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
