•  Oppose The people in the foreground. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

   Comment For me those people are making the picture FP. Otherwise the photo would be too clean. Stepro (talk) 21:59, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

   Comment I see firework as a show. But a show needs an audience to appreciate it, otherwise it’s just a waste of sparks. That's why I nominate this picture as a FP. ABAL1412 (talk) 09:09, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Support -- I agree with Stepro. Dark silhouettes of people make this photo an FP. --LexKurochkin (talk) 10:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support per Lex. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:15, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

  I'll also add that I'm purely supporting because of its photographic value – I don't support fireworks on Jan 26, but I'll leave politics outside of Commons. SHB2000 (talk) 01:34, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

  I would like to clarify that I’m not Australian. I'm Vietnamese, born and grown in my homeland - Vietnam. I suggest this picture only for its artistic value, not for any political reasons. ABAL1412 (talk) 16:50, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

  Yeah, for the record, I was simply stated that for my own sake and don't expect non-Australians to worry about this. Jan 26 fireworks are very controversial in Australia – me supporting and not making that statement might give me a bad look. SHB2000 (talk) 08:31, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Support per others. This picture really gets across the feelings of excitement and rapt attention that a crowd has at a good fireworks show. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support --Llez (talk) 09:11, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Support per Stepro and Ikan. The people watching aren't the subjects, and as they are mostly in silhouette they are not at all a distraction. Daniel Case (talk) 03:17, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
