  • Weak Oppose Lacks clarity ie seems out of focus to me... Most of the surrounding rubble and greenery seems to be slightly blurred and the brickwork of the building itself seem almost plastic in appearance due to blurriness... Only weak oppose though due to high EV and the fact that this photo cannot be re-taken unless time travel is conquered! Gazhiley (talk) 10:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I fixed some typos in your comment...I looked at the picture full size again, and I'm not seeing the blurriness except some on the left-most areas of the picture. Are you sure the rest of the blurriness you see isn't the windswept greenery and grass/dirt/who-knows-what blown onto the bricks by the tornado? I'm just not seeing it except for to the left of the building. Ks0stm (TCG) 15:53, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support; not technically perfect, but certainly gets across the feel. J Milburn (talk) 18:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
