Mackerel sky over Edmonton, Alberta[edit]

Altocumulus mackerel sky
Reason
I really don't see anything special in this picture. Just look at the graininess. This completely destroys the image for me. And these sort of clouds aren't that rare either.

  • Delist - per above. Also poor focus on the buildings. This image has been nominated for delisting before, but still, standards change - Jack (talk) 15:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - The original delist nomination was largely for failing size standards, at which time the image was updated with this larger version. While I think this image has decent encyclopedic value in articles on cloud formations, the overall poor focus ruins it. Mackerel clouds are supposed to show sharper boundaries so they need to be in focus. —Dgiest c 16:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist regretfully as it is a beautiful image. But the blurriness and just an overall bad image. — Arjun 00:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist yet another undeserving FP --frothT C 03:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist The focus should be on the city and not on the clouds. Even if the focus was on the clouds they don't seem very attractive. Why1991 00:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
