Neutral Support - I really like this shot but it needs a bit of clean-up. Will likely support it when that's done.On second thought, the little spots and smudges are probably on the dome itself. Would love to know how this shot was captured. Was there a camera on the wing? Atsme 📞 21:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)- Support -- Wolf im Wald 00:53, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Comment - What am I missing? The black silhouettes just sit there, and the sky is more or less equally inert. So the photo feels virtually flat to me, with almost nothing to move my eyes around. I'm tempted to oppose, but instead, I'd like to learn something from people who like this photo so much you'd like to feature it. Anyone who would like to teach me something about what's special about this photo could be doing me a good service. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Nobody ever answers these questions, that's somewhat disheartening. My take on this is: find me another silhouette like this on commons. Or look on the internetz and see if you can find any that is better. -- KennyOMG (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- But better by what criteria, based on what? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- That's for you to figure out, but when you do, you know what you want to judge this picture based on and maybe have arrive to a different conclusion. -- KennyOMG (talk) 23:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'll add that it's more about what the image represents...such as humans flying above the clouds...being able to capture such an image and creating the look that was achieved. The value of such an image is undeniable and it's a relatively rare accomplishment. Atsme 📞 03:38, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I can understand this. Thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:46, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- This airplane was NOT airborne (flying) at the time. It was sitting on the ground. Note the description is "prepares his F-15 Eagle for a late day sortie". You prepare on the ground, not after take off. PumpkinSky talk 01:17, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

- Support Its nice silhuette. Burned pixel and some smudges could be cleaned, but i like colors very much here. --Mile (talk) 07:45, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
