Comment You are aware that this is just a commemoration of the event? The caption (which I have adjusted) previously seemed to imply that this was taken in 1940. Thegreenj 03:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am. The nominated image was taken in 2007, but IMO it is still a very interesting image. --Mbz1 (talk) 04:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support if caption is further revised to something like "A "line of fire" memorial on May 15, 2007k commemorating the 1940 Rotterdam Blitz. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral to Weak support It's an eye-catching photo, but I really don't like the glare from the buildings and from the streetlights on the bottom. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 13:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nice thumbnail. Disappointing at full size (which isn't even that big). --Dschwen 15:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Almost the one I voted for for Commons Picture of the Year last year. Daniel Case (talk) 00:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Doesn't show much at full size, and it's not very encyclopedic either. diego_pmc (talk) 15:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Artifacting around buildings' edges, and the article needs a section about commemoration activities in order for this to be encyclopedic. Like, what do those lights mean? The article doesn't tell us. Is this a yearly event? If so, someone can get a better shot this year. howcheng {chat} 00:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to answer your questions: All the dots made out of light encircle the area which was bombed to the ground in the WW2. And no, it is not a yearly occuring remembrance. Massimo Catarinella (talk) 17:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
