Info c/u/n by -- • Richard • [®] • 15:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC)- Restart of my nomination Madeira Airport Runway Extension from yesterday. King of Hearts had a point, that the runway on the left side seems bended. This is now fixed with an improved rectilinear projection.
- Here I offer a picture with an deliberate encyclopedic concept: I wanted to show as much aspects of this bizarre building, which was winning the 2004 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award. The runway extension has a length of about 1050 meters, which i've underlined through the chosen location and perspective, which gives a great feeling of depth. On the left hand there is a motorway which leads through the building. On the lower right side of the building you can see a marina and an amusement park (weird). The right half of the picture shows the air corridor with the Ponta de São Lourenço headland. Above the Runway you can see the Pico do Facho Mountain. The runway is used by a landing airplane. Enough said, let's discover this things. • Richard • [®] • 15:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

- Support Thanks for the fix. The removal of the central bulge has also addressed my other issue about the sea in the lower right, which no longer appears unbalanced. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 11:27, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Support more than harmonic: rules of thirds: 1/3 water + 2/3 sky, 2/3 building + 1/3 ocean and additional perspective of the building. For me perfect. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:09, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Support Funchal airport is definitely something to see :-). --PierreSelim (talk) 13:34, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, but I can't see something so impressive for featured picture. Yes, wery high quality and some encyclopedic value too. But where is runway?!! I can't see anything but ugly motorway crossing in centre of picture. --Kikos (talk) 18:34, 8 December 2013 (UTC)- Oppose per Kikos. The image don't make sense, even after I read the description. What is it trying to illustrate? The coast? It don't look like an image of a building or airport runway IMHO. Perhaps it is taken from the wrong perspective. Royalbroil 19:40, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose great documentary quality, good quality at all, the picture makes sense to show the concrete frame of the runaway. But nevertheless the impact at all doesn't work here as a featured picture. Not really harmonic for me. A picture doesn't get automatically harmonic by following certain proportion rules. The flat building let the image look very compact, this impression is increased by the strong clouds. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:51, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose The image lacks "wow". --Dey.sandip (talk) 06:51, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
