Support(borderless hi-res) - "My God, it's full of stars!" --TotoBaggins 18:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)- Oppose - After reading Debivort's comment and looking again, I've reconsidered. It does look overcooked. --TotoBaggins 15:02, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support borderless high-resolution version. --Brand спойт 20:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- ack! oppose - looks like it has been oversharpened / contrast boosted - with a majority of the distinguishable stars spread out to more than one pixel each, and running together. Too many stars saturated out, I suspect heavy handed post-processing. Debivort 23:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose per Debivort. -- Moondigger 00:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
