  •  Comment There is some mist in the air, which makes the picture appear a bit dull. While this is perfectly normal for aerial photographs, it is not too hard to remove that. --El Grafo (talk) 13:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose -- Interesting but not exceptional. The colours are washed out and the backgroung is a bit distracting. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment There is a higher resolution file in the Dryden Image Gallery that has very low contrast, I used that to create a WB/contrast-corrected version:
  • Higher resolution, less haze
    Higher resolution, less haze
  • Less busy background
    Less busy background
    • The original from there would also be an alternative. --Julian H. (talk/files) 14:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Imo, your version is much better mist-wise, but the blue stripes on the fuselages seem to be a bit dark now. Also, it seems to be a bit too brown/yellow-ish (have a look at the lower side of the fuselages: I guess they should be in a neutral grey? They have a slight color cast in the original too, but it has become stronger through the modifications). But maybe that's just my eyes/monitor tricking me. In terms of the background, I think I prefer the first option. I can't decide which one is the best one overall, so I'll simply  Abstain . --El Grafo (talk) 09:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        I tried to correct the issues you mentioned, to some extend. --Julian H. (talk/files) 09:45, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
