  • Oppose, awful quality, pointless.--Svetovid 23:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please comment with a civil tone. This clearly has a point and might very well illustrate hald-staff. Debivort 00:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Far too dark. Witty Lama 23:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Way too dark. And a flag flying at half-staff isn't all that unique. Sorry. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 00:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose This is quite atmospheric and evocative, although the picture quality could be improved. But ideally a picture explaining "half-staff" should put it in context, e.g. a funeral procession. This one does not adequately explain the symbolism. With a little bit of Photshopping this might succeed on Commons. ~ trialsanderrors 01:28, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, sigh. Strong emotions created is certainly not the only thing required to take a picture "to tha next level". --Phoenix (talk) 18:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It's pretty, but far too dark. Amphy 16:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
