  • Comment This was previously a nom [1]. J Are you green? 17:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, I did not let the nomination to finish. I took it out in a day or two (maybe even a few hours) after the nomination. Now I nominated it again with a new caption. I'm not sure what the ruls are, but I guess it's OK. This time I'd like to get the nomination to finish for the record. Please take your time to oppose it again. Thanks.--Mbz1 17:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
      • There is no rule against renominating an image. I just was noting that it had been up for FPC before. J Are you green? 17:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, if there's no rule against renominating an image, I'm not sure what was the purpose of bringing the old nomination back, but I could tell you my purpose of renaminating the image: I hope that maybe one or two people will see a huge enciclopedic value behind that clossed helicopter window.--Mbz1 18:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Poor corners, overexposure. J Are you green? 01:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Doing much better here. If I nominate the picture for the third time I believe you will support it(just kidding)--Mbz1 02:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
      • Well, giving it a second look, there isn't really anything out of focus; it's just a minor unsharpness that gives that appearance. But given it's gigantic size, I think I can give a little room for detail. It's really the exposure that kills it. J Are you green? 18:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentHere is my last comment for that nomination. After this I only will respond, if somebody has a question. I just would like to tell everybody, that I do not really care, if the picture will be nominated or it will be not. I do not sell my pictures. The licenses for all my pictures are absolutely free for everybody to use(I even do not ask to e-mail me, if a picture is used). The only goal of the nominating the picture was to share it with as many people as possible because in my opinion it is a very interesting and very unique shot with OK quality. --Mbz1 02:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
  • Oppose The framing and subject matter are fine, but the lack of clarity really brings this one down. The entire image seems fuzzy, but it's particularly noticeable in the landmass on the left. Matt Deres 02:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (sadly) Great composition, but lack of clarity and some lighting concerns. As nominator admits, it is only "OK" quality. It would be great if you had a second chance at this exact shot. --Midnightdreary 18:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sadly oppose per above. Spikebrennan
  • I withdraw the nomination. The icebergs and me are really sorry we've made some of you so sad. --Mbz1 02:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
