Oppose Sorry, but it is too grainy/blurry, and I have a hard time identifying the subject. tiZom_(2¢) 19:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, blurry. Jorcoga ^(Hi!/Review)00:24, Saturday, 3 February '07
Weak Oppose Very encyclopedic, and very interesting, but it is quite grainy which doesn't make it Wikipedia's best.--γιατί ^{Sign Here | ESP.} 03:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per Why1991. ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 04:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Unless the subject is camouflage, the subject is too hard to see because of the background. —Dgies^t c 06:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Motion blur. I don't mind the difficulty seeing the subject, as that's how it appears in nature, but the blur is just too bad. howcheng {chat} 08:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The picture is too blurry and it is impossible to discern what is is through the thumb. User:pel99 3 February 2007
Support Powerfully beautiful. I actually like the motion blur on the substrate: it makes me feel as if I'm being buffetted by waves, in danger of bumping into this beauty. I've read about these, but never seen a picture, and I'm extremely glad I just saw the picture. I have one minor issue, but it's about the caption, not the picture ... just leave the "to science" bit out and I think it communicates the idea much more clearly.
