White-Red Sparks

  •  Info Personally, I like the composition, light, and colors on this one taken a beautiful summer morning as the bi-annual Danish Air Show 2014 was about to begin. The pose of the pilot with one shoe tip towards the ground showing a self-confident pilot, probably proud to be on his countrys show team (this is the White-Red Sparks from the Polish Air Force), the other pilots and crew discussing the events to come. There is a tranquility before action mood to the scenary, in sharp contrast to the noise level, which was very high as all the aircraft had their jet engines on. Created, uploaded and nominated by Slaunger. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:12, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I like the composition, but there's too much posterization on the planes. Daniel Case (talk) 23:33, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Really cool photo. Can't see any posterization though. What I can see are shadows and reflections on some planes from the adjacent planes. There are also discolorations from fuel, oils, overheating, repairs with mismatched paintjob and everything that comes with maintaining planes like these. Sure, the colors can look blotchy when you see the planes on the ground, but who cares, it doesn't matter when they are up in the sky doing their thing. :) I just wonder if it is possible to get rid of that little round thing on the tarmac far right in the photo? --cart-Talk 00:54, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose - It strikes me that between the shallow DoF and the heat distortion from the hot tarmac, almost nothing is sharp or in focus. I agree with the nominator that the standing pilot's pose is a compelling element, but he's so blurry that he doesn't really serve as any sort of main subject, which is what I would have liked to see. –Juliancolton | Talk 03:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Juliancolton, unfortunately --El Grafo (talk) 13:23, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Thanks for reviewing this. I follow you points. Regarding the posterization I would have liked to re-process it from raw, but it appears I have lost the raw file. -- Slaunger (talk) 14:30, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
