•  Support Was also featured on the front page of Wikinews for the news it made at the time. --DragonFire1024 07:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Question Would it be possible to crop the original? The focus of interest really takes up only about 15% of the frame. I like the idea of this shot, but with trees in the foreground concealing the dust cloud and a building in the background it's hard to see what's happening. Still, buildings don't get demolished every day. Maybe a cropped version would get the nod at QI? Durova 20:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support A moment not easy too catch...Vmenkov 04:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Cropped

Is this better? DragonFire1024 21:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Support I am supporting the cropped version of this photograph. I like the photo because it captured, basically, the moment of implosion of the building, and you can see what is happening to the building. Nzgabriel 22:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support could do with a bit more cropping left and right. Durova 04:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I thought so too, but to the right is where the fire department is hosing down the debris as it falls. I wanted to try and get as much of that stream in the image as possible without cutting too much off otherwise it would be like 'where/what is that?'. DragonFire1024 06:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, the crop is now much too small. --MichaelMaggs 08:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Well there are two to choose from. And the crop is actually not small. DragonFire1024 09:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose detail --Beyond silence 21:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Detail? You cannot get anymore detailed than this. This is perfect timing. DragonFire1024 05:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Detail is seeing the light bars in the hospital. Details is seeing the blasting, the debris, the tilting and the timing. DragonFire1024 05:17, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

 Comment - Perhaps Beyond silence means that the quality of the detail is not good enough. The photo looks a tad blurred overall, to me. --typhoonchaser 15:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

If it was blurred, IMHO, then why so much detail as I stated above? DragonFire1024 19:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Support - it is interesting, of good quality and, captures a lot of action. SYmODE09 03:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Though I would prefer something cropped to a size in between the sizes of the two pictures :-) Vmenkov 04:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Already voted above. Please vote for one of the two and not both. --typhoonchaser 09:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC) this is a different picture, votes are not added. Lycaon 20:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Insufficient quality, imho. -- Bryan (talk to me) 13:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too small and details swamped by noise. Lycaon 20:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
