  • Oppose. Badly tilted, sky blown out, I can't see a lot to recommend this other than the exotic location (well exotic from my point of view). I assume the banner is an anti-government message, but we're not even told what it says, and my Burmese is a little scratchy ;-). --jjron 09:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Besides the things already mentioned, I don't think the composition conveys the scale of the protest. It is hard to see how many people are protesting. - Mgm|(talk) 10:08, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are some alternatives at commons:2007 Burmese anti-government protests and http://www.flickr.com/photos/racoles/ but nearly all of them suffer from blown highlights. MER-C 13:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Horribly tilted. IPchangesthe box 23:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Per other and because this really isnt FP quality also im sure many more photos of the crisis will crop up, it would be shortsighted to nominate any pics of this soon soon --Childzy ¤ Talk 12:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: I really want to support an image like this, but this one just isn't good enough. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 21:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- not FP quality. - Longhair\talk 23:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
