Support Definitely valuable to Commons, not badly done from a technical side either. Geocoding would also help. --Freedom to share 08:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Freedom to share. I added geocoding, but not the exact one. The image was taken from my back yard and I would not dare to put coordinates of my back yard to Wikipedia. I am afraid that somebody could hurt me for uploading such bad, "no wow factor" images to Commons. --Mbz1 13:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree on the "no wow factor', I feel that this image, illustrating a rare phenomenon that is rarely seen and only lasts for a short time, does pack in quite a bit of wow. Freedom to share 21:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - No doubt a Valued image but technically not good enough for FP: there are visible artifacts and pixelation. The composition is not the best either -- Alvesgaspar 09:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Don't like the foreground --norro 10:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cannot agree with you more. I also wish foreground of my backyard was w:Golden Gate Bridge ot at least w:Coit Tower--Mbz1 14:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the colors you might see at the image are not camera artifacts, but natural iridescence of the clouds lit by the sun.--Mbz1 13:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not impressing --Pianist 03:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I truly believe that it's a rare phenomenon, but this picture looks like a black smoke late in the evening. --Leafnode 06:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Pianist, and there are many "RARE" images in Mammatus cloud --βαςε _LXIV ™ 12:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

have you ever seen them yourself?

Comment The clouds lasted a minute. I hardly had a time to grab my camera and take two fast shots. Of course the composition and foreground could have been metter, but anyway here's is the second image. Thank you.--Mbz1 13:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support--Mbz1 13:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as with previous image --Leafnode 06:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as with previous, and the lower left corner looks distracting --βαςε _LXIV ™ 12:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
