•  Support I was thinking about the image. Yes, it might have been sharper, but I like it very much. Took some time for me to figure out what it was :) --Mbz1 (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like this image very much too. It's astounding and hilarious. But I'm afraid that the sharpness is a little bit below FP requirements. I really regret... -- MJJR (talk) 21:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Edit 1 (sharpened), featured

•  Support the sharpened version. The lighting and composition are so attractive and the photo is not easily reshot. Downtowngal (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Mbz1 (talk) 23:44, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Oversharpened (strong halos) yet blurry. Lycaon (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose - per Lycaon -- Pro2 (talk) 17:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Lycaon, although I see the improvement. -- H005 (talk) 19:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Question What I'm wondering is, is this even a free image? I'm not sure freedom of panorama applies, given that the balloon is presumably not permanently installed in public. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 02:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Cars and planes are not permanently installed in public, either. --Lošmi (talk) 13:57, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment I think this a very valid point. Obviously freedom of panorama does not apply, as it is not permanently installed. (Btw, according to the coordinates the camera was in Switzerland, although the balloon possibly was in Austria. The latter has freedom of panorama, Switzerland I don't know.)

Cars etc. are not a good example, as these are not considered "art", but just things of everyday usage. This might be different here. At least the creators of the balloon call themselves "Künstler" (="artists"), and they are called artists in publications, so the balloon could be considered a pice of art, which unsually must not be reproduced on Commons. -- H005 (talk) 14:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC).

•  Comment Perhaps it is justified as a public event with the clear wich to be represented in Media and Internet. I think we would get no problems here in Germany but I'm not absolutly shure about Austria. --Mbdortmund (talk) 01:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
