- Support - That's good! What did you shoot it out of? A helicopter? I'm thinking it's from too high up to be drone photography? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:28, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- It was a Cessna 172M. My coworker graciously offered me a ride in his plane. Drones are prohibited over the Golden Gate Bridge. Since the Cessna was moving, I couldn't quite line up the bridge perfectly, but I think I got it fairly close. dllu (t,c) 10:31, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose I'll support it as a VI, but I don't think the rendering of the bridge is quite good enough for FP - sorry. It just lacks the crispness we tend to see in other featured photographs.--Peulle (talk) 10:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle; I also think the WB is a little on the warm side, and those boat wakes are a little distracting. Under different circumstances, though, I think a photo like this could be featurable. Daniel Case (talk) 17:55, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think the boat wakes can be helped. Take a look at Category:Golden_Gate_Bridge_aerial_photographs. Boats, or boat wakes, can be seen in every photo. It is a rather popular bridge and there's a lot of boat traffic when the weather is good enough for aerial photography.

- I think it could be helped; perhaps by flying out shortly after dawn (especially at this time of year) when there aren't likely (IMO) to be many people pleasureboating. Daniel Case (talk) 20:21, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think there's anything wrong with the crispness: aerial photography is often not as good as this. I do agree the WB/colour looks warm, though not sure when it was taken (the timestamp is surely wrong). I'd support if the WB is correct or fixed.
- Info The timestamp is in UTC. The local time was 4:39 pm. dllu (t,c) 19:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't spot the "(UTC)". Not perhaps very helpful for the file description - a local time would be useful. Well, if you think the warmth is due to the time-of-day then I guess I Support. -- Colin (talk) 12:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- I use UTC for my photos because I'm tired of having to change the clock in my camera every time I travel to a different time zone, and every time daylight savings time changes. Besides, all timestamps on Wikimedia Commons are in UTC. I suppose I could add to my upload script the ability to convert it to local time since I include GPS coordinates with every file. dllu (t,c) 00:21, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- That would be helpful. The fact that Commons timestamps are UTC is irrelevant -- we need a universal time for knowing which actions occurred before which, regardless of where the person was located. But a photograph, if it shows a time at all, should be local time. -- Colin (talk) 07:09, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support I like the straight lines and the static composition works well for me (including the waves). The wb is warm but still ok. Alexander Leisser (talk) 09:07, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support Unusual view. Thanks you for this image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

- Support The perspective is outstanding and the shooting conditions were not usual. I want have the full shadow there, but this isn't really hurt me. --Milseburg (talk) 11:17, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
