•  Comment One of my all-time favourite railways, the FCAB line from Bolivia to Antofagasta, crossing a salt lake surrounded by volcanoes.

•  Support Higher f and increased ISO might resulted in a better quality but well, it's a striking composition of a 'wow' subject. --Podzemnik (talk) 23:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Awesome shadows, great motif. Striking composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support For curious, where were you when you made this image? Looks almost too good to be a drone. Were you in an airplane or convenient hillside? --GRDN711 (talk) 02:40, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

  Hasselblad L1D-20c = camera of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. --A.Savin 20:06, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Yes, the shadows. I prefer last year's POTY finalist, but both are very different compositions and both impressive. Charles (talk) 08:00, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this was taken with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. One of the biggest issues of the camera is noise, hence ISO 100; Also, I think sharpness won't improve beyond f4-f4.5 (although I have not tested this). But overall I'm quite happy with the image quality I get from that drone. Regarding sharpening, I've just had a look and there isn't too much difference before/after sharpening. But if desired, I can replace the photo by a completely unsharpened one regardless. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:46, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
  • @Kabelleger Thanks for the explanation. My remark was just a thought that I put into words :) The image quality is pretty good. I'm quite curious where the quality will be in 10 years! --Podzemnik (talk) 21:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
  • I have a Sony 1" pocket camera and I also prefer to use an aperture of f/4-f/5.6. It is, after all, comparable to f/8-f/11 on full frame. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:12, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

•  strong support This is by far the best built-in-drone-camera image I have yet encountered, even if the lower corners are a trifle too soft due to the 28 mm wide angle lens. A highly dynamic shot, the long shadows like a row of dominoes on the desert surface. The incredibly long straight line captivates you and you realise that this train is on a mission, giving a sense of movement in an unforgiving landscape, fantastically captured in a still image. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 15:29, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
