  •  Question I really had a blue feeling in my mind when I got to this image, is this red? –Dilaudid 15:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes, yes it is Noodle snacks (talk) 22:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
      •  Oppose Red –Dilaudid 15:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
        • That really is not a valid reason to oppose ; colour is within requirements. Many many people have red pictures here, and don't get opposed for that. Benh (talk) 22:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
          • In that case the guidelines should be rephrased, they currently say "it is important that nominated pictures have accurate colour and white balance" and to me that sounds though too much red actually is a valid reason to oppose. /Daniel78 (talk) 23:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
            • Its time the guidelines be changed then. Muhammad 11:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
              • I think the guidelines should say something about red, otherwise this discussion will arise again and again./Daniel78 (talk) 19:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support great image, above the requirement Muhammad 11:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Red. –- Lycaon (talk) 19:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment We really have got to rephrase that part of the guidelines about the colour. To me the opposes aren't justified here. No matter what hardware was used, the result is good. Had this picture been taken with a black and white camera, no one would have opposed. And if it's the best Commons can offer on the subject, why would we reject it ? I suggest Noodle Snack to buy an old film camera, to take the same pictures with it, and renominate them here to avoid these sorts of votes. Benh (talk) 22:29, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Red !11eleven I have no absolute religion against colours, but if you put a featurable coloured version on Commons and keep another black and white version for selling, then you will get big confusion about published pictures. As featured images are to be widely scattered, we must do it very clear. Author rights apply to the work, not to the pixels. That's my opinion. --B.navez (talk) 03:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
    • Your opinion is irrelevant as far as the law is concerned. There is a huge list of current red featured pictures, oppositions based on too much red are a case of bias more than anything else. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:02, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Perhaps we can take the red issue at the discussion page instead of having separate discussions on every image that get such votes ? /Daniel78 (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support I'm not a fan of red, because it often obscures details in a picture, but that is not the case with this one. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 01:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
