Opposet. I find the lens flare to be distracting and the photo to have a lack of focus. SteveHopson 17:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The sun ruins it for me. Colors are nice, though. Mikeo 17:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Pic tilted, needs 3 degrees of anticlockwise rotation (look at the 2 distant watchtowers and the line of the mountains) - Adrian Pingstone 20:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Besides the lens flare, the subject of the photo really seems to be this set of stairs. The rest of the wall is in the shadow and you don't really get a good sense of the immense scale of the whole thing. The background of the hills is very nice, though. howch e ng {chat} 00:14, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the sun. —Jared Hunt September 12, 2006, 03:26 (UTC)
Support Nice sunlit image. Would prefer a downscaled version to eliminate some of the grain/noise --Fir0002 11:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per SteveHopson and Howcheng. Nauticashades 16:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Like the colors and texture of the foreground, but the background is indistinct, and the sun and resulting lens flares are overly distracting. --S0uj1r0 04:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Same opinions as Fir0002. Lens flare hardly makes an impact to me. --WikiSlasher 13:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support The scenery is nice, and enough of the wall is to be seen; the colors are also admirable. The sun does not seem to be a hindrance, it serves as a reminder as to how many sunsets/sunrises the wall has been through. AndonicO 17:54, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Did anyone look at it at full res? It's not "very clear", It's extremely blurry/grainy. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I remeber walking on the Great Wall while in China; it was quite an experince, and this photo really brings me back to it. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support the picture is very clear and shows a beauty of some sort to the wall, and I do not feel that the slight glare takes away from it. --216.233.172.247 10:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
