Oppose "One of very few pictures taken..." - that is hard to believe! Katrina was one of the most photographed natural disasters. Also needs cropping, the print edges are showing. --Janke | Talk 08:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Out of focus, lack of contrast, bad border, not interesting. Sorry!! - Adrian Pingstone 09:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose, although I do like the playing cards plastered to the window in an subtle reference to the destruction caused by the gambling barges on the Gulf Coast as they broke their moorings and wreaked destruction on the land..... O_o gren グレン 10:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Strong Oppose. Totally agree with Janke - there is no shortage of Katrina photos. This image is certainly interesting but not at all high quality. Below par by FP standards. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry I just dont think this Image has what it takes to be a featured image. Tellyaddict 17:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Absolutely riddiculous. The whole picture is out of focus, and there is a black line at the top which looks like it was taken from a car or something. P.S. everyone in America was photographing the hurricane and its events and it was all over the TV. How could it be "One of the very few."? -Midnight Rider 20:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

How does it help to call this nomination "riddiculous"? Please be civil with all nominations. Debivort 22:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose, agreed with the other opposes. Also, is that a finger I see in the top right corner? --RandomOrca2 22:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose there are certainly other ones of better quality out there. Sorry but not up to par with the featured picture standards. ~ Arjun 22:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Oppose I generally don't like to have the fingers of the photographer in the picture (see the upper right hand corner). S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 03:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
