 * Comment I think this is a crop of http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011000/a011095/304-171_Lighten_Blend.jpg from my understanding on http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011000/a011095/index.html J Kadavoor J e e 05:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose Low EV since both articles are well served with images and this one doesn't seem to add uniquely to what already exists. The image quality reminds me of a GIF, with posterisation problems. I appreciate that this is because it isn't real-light-photography here, but still. Also it is small because it is a crop of a larger pic. I don't understand why it did so well at Commons pic-of-the-year. Colin°Talk 11:39, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I disagree with the low EV assessment. As you point out, the solar flare article is well illustrated by a number of images and videos, but I think this is, by far, the best image on the solar flare article. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The EV would be better in Solar Flare if it were the lead image. Dusty 777 01:51, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
