 * Weak Oppose In the image, there are blurry parts, which I find off putting and I find the red parts scattered over the image - which i suppose are meant to represent the fires? - look, unseemly. However,if a better method of indicating the flames could be found and the sharpness enhanced, I'll change my vote to support
 * Oppose Not good enough. The information depicted is unclear and ambiguous. Are the red signs the spots where fires started, an indication of burned areas or of those still on fire? Also, the inclusion of a digital made coastline and/or a coordinate system would help to locate the areas of interest. Alvesgaspar 15:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
