Support --ToprakM ✉ 12:49, 8 October 2021 (UTC)- Support Striking image, IMHO -- Radomianin (talk) 14:14, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support Weapons of war are only useful if they help maintain peace and are never used.. Still, this is an excellent image. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:44, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Comment Crop could be wider, left. --Mile (talk) 08:20, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Neutral party per Mile, I feel like it is certainly striking but I am not sure whether it is outstanding in the genre of aerial photography, and the crop is certainly a bit tight on the left. Cmao20 (talk) 13:34, 9 October 2021 (UTC)- Support --Commonists 21:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Wet-blanket oppose Well done, and certainly topical due to the increased PRC aerial presence over the China Sea. But, at the end of the day it's just another photo of a jet fighter in flight taken from a nearby aircraft. Daniel Case (talk) 19:05, 11 October 2021 (UTC)- Oppose per Daniel Case. A solid, well-lit shot but limited wow and, to be honest, it’s grainy and not even quite sharp at 6 megapixels. --Kreuzschnabel 20:10, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Kreuz. ToprakM's nominations have set the bar for photos of fighter jets in flight, and I think they've set it higher than this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:12, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose It's a nice clean side view that should be very useful for Wikipedia. But the WOW is quite limited compared to other air-to-air shots we've seen here in the past. Quality is also underwhelming. That's 6.5MPx from a Z6, and still noticeably soft at full screen view. f/22 at ISO800 & 1/320 s feels strange to me, or do you need to stop down that much for DOF there? --El Grafo (talk) 14:38, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Others -- Dey.sandip (talk) 04:54, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose 6 MP image should be sharper. This would be pretty impressive if created by a civilian, but the military has lots of opportunities to make similar and better photos. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:19, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Yes, there are technical flaws such as tight left crop and poor sharpness, but I dont think this is an ordinary air-to-air photo. Military photography is usually done for documentation, not to record the best possible technical work and like underwater photography, it has its own limitations. This F-2 fighter is only flown by one country, Japan, and its not easy to find and photograph a flying F-2 with a missile loaded under its wings. --IamMM (talk) 04:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
