OpposeNice composition as aerial photograph? but the quality is not FP level and a pity top crop. --Laitche (talk) 07:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)- Support OK, I've changed my mind, it's an unusual photo despite a few flaws. --Laitche (talk) 08:26, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, it's a really nice view, but the photo lacks sharpness in various areas. --Tremonist (talk) 13:12, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Neutralquality is actually not too bad considering the conditions (I've produced much worse), but I'm not sure if it's enough for FP. Framing is great though, and educational value is quite high. I've taken the liberty of nominating it for VI as well. --El Grafo (talk) 14:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)- Support you can't destroy the cockpit to take a FP for Commons. --Ralf Roleček 15:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Sharpness problems, especially visible around planes. -- Pofka (talk) 16:15, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- Comment @WPPilot: I nominated the alternative. If you mind then I will withdraw, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 17:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Unsharp patch at the first entry to the runway on the right. Also a large bright elliptical patch overlaid over the whole image (probably a reflection in the window), acting like a very strangely shaped vignette. — Julian H.✈ 17:50, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Comment I think these patches are unavoidable problem unless they remove the window glasses from the airplane... --Laitche (talk) 18:06, 29 May 2015 (UTC)--Laitche (talk) 18:23, 29 May 2015 (UTC)- I disagree. It's possible to put something dark, like a black shirt, around the front of the lens to get rid of such reflections. It's also possible to get rid of the effect in post, although that's a little more tricky. — Julian H.✈ 18:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

- Comment That is not "blur" that you see in the window, it is the propeller. I was shooting at full speed (9fps) and selected a photo that framed the runway and was clear in showing the features a pilot would see on short final. The camera was covered, in that I had a black cloth over the camera to shield the light. The plane is a "Pilatus PC 12", it has a green tint in the windshield that creates a little color effect I tried to offset with some Magenta addition. --WPPilot (talk) 19:59, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- I admit, the propeller is a lot harder to work around, especially a four-blade prop. Not sure if, with a shorter shutter speed, it would have been possible to get a clean image. I really think, if there is a RAW file, this is worth trying to fix through editing. A little brush work in Lightroom or Photoshop should be able to hide it at least reasonably well. — Julian H.✈ 20:24, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- Comment @WPPilot: I can unwithdraw the alternative anytime if you want but I cannot work for this any more. --Laitche (talk) 21:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- weak Support the composition has enough wow imo, despite technical shortcomings. --ArildV (talk) 07:16, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support This is a unique view with mitigating circumstances. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support Changed my mind: I didn't factor in that this was shot through the moving prop earlier. --El Grafo (talk) 07:06, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The contrast could be reduced, but interesting photo. -- RTA 10:56, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support Considering the shooting conditions. Yann (talk) 13:08, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
