•  Support--Jacek Halicki (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Why is the background so dark? I thought it was computer graphics, not a photograph. --Kadellar (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Kadellar that would be the ocean. russavia (talk) 17:27, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Yes, but is this a night shot? The ocean (or the forest, or whatever) should be visible. --Kadellar (talk) 18:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
      • You might want to look at the full size image, or adjust your viewing angle, and you should see ripples on the water's surface. Gyrostat (talk) 19:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
      • Actually, it's a lake in the Baltic region, not ocean. It's still water though. russavia (talk) 19:42, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
        •  Oppose Yes, I saw some waves, that's why I'm asking, at first I thought it was a black background. It should be clearly visible, I don't understand the difference in light between the aircraft and the background. --Kadellar (talk) 12:35, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
          •  Comment Kadellar, I think in part the deep blue is due to low light, and the nearly vertical angle of catch it tends to darken deep water surfaces, depending on the lighting: as we can see,1, 2, 3, 4  ; obvious that another portion is due to photo manipulation to enhance the colors, which deepened the blue. From what I researched before voting the jet is more light gray under full lighting and the control display despite appearing green marker is lighter and less intense. Nevertheless I liked it, but I am suspicious. : ) -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 18:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I got feeling sea is inserted manualy like from some graphic, but i like the object. --Mile (talk) 18:54, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
  • • My friends, should we really promote a fake ?--Jebulon (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
      • No evidence it is a fake. The description even says "This photograph was taken from the back of a transport aircraft over a lake in the Baltic region where the Typhoons are currently deployed in the NATO Baltic Air Policing Role." The EXIF also states that the photograph was 1 of 9 entrants in the RAF "‘People’s Choice: Image of the Year’". We all know only the Russians fake photographs :) russavia (talk) 21:44, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
      • Jebulon I do not know if it's false, the direction of the lighting in the waves; helmet; jet and radar are consistent, there is a pilot in the cockpit; the turbine exhaust gases are evident and the halo generated also, the noise does not seem inconsistent throughout the image; in the right portion of the cockpit there is a reflection that when I made the support I interpreted as the reflection of a blue lake and a row of trees of similar size, but is only an impression. May be false because have exaggerated colors and a dark background, but can be real (see my comment above) and also a black stripe separating much of the background of the jet, and an unexpected full black in jet air intake latter are more suspicious but do not support an accusation (IMO). And yes there was a processing of colors, the actual figure would be brighter and less defined. Again IMO, and this is just my opinion, without defending without accuse. ; ) -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 02:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
