• Oppose. The original on Commons doesn't seem to be working, but based on the version at LOC, I really can't imagine where you got these colors. In the original the individual clouds are clearly and rather gracefully delineated, in yours they are a speckled white mess. What happened to the muted pink in the sky? Where did you get that garish green? Chick Bowen 00:14, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Is "I forget because, although I redid it a bit, I started this a year ago, and the first save I have includes the colour changes?" going to fly as an explanation, or shall I withdraw and retry? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 00:25, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
