  • Weak Support The composition is awesome and it is fairly sharp. But it displays a bit of vignetting, and the contrast is a little low.Althepal 18:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Excellent pic, nice angle and lighting - Adrian Pingstone 20:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

    • Sorry 'bout that, I was confused as to the meaning of creator, and have changed the Credit line to indicate the proper photographer. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 21:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support This is a wonderful eye catching image, taken from a good angle. It is sharp, and I agree that the contrast is a little low per above comments, but the picture still looks good. Matthuxtable 21:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Support Very imposing pic...it's coming at me! Encyclopedic and unique. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 03:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose Yes, the texture of the sea looks nice with this lighting. But a "contre-jour" picture is not the best way to show the details on an histoical aircraft. Beatiful but with poor enc value. Alvesgaspar 12:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose It's dark and grainy; maybe an edit would take care of that though. | AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 19:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Encyclopedic and the plane has an interesting history. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 03:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
