A great image with no real technical faults

  • Oppose. Too dark, and just barely meets minimum size requirement. I know there are better images out there of the wreckage. tiZom(2¢) 00:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
    • What do you expect, its 2½ miles beneath the surface. The bottom of the ocean and natural light don't really miz Ahadland 13:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't know how notable this photo would be if people didn't regognize the shape and style of the railing from the 1997 movie (e.g. featuring the scene "I'm the king of the world!") Spebudmak 00:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Thats a fairly daft opinion given that people have been fascinated by the sinking of the titanic, and therefore, her wreckage, ever since it happened. Hence, how that became the highest grossing film of ALL time. The fact that the legend of the ship still lives on is as good a reason as any to promote this image.

      • I mean, this part of the ship would (in my estimation) not have any particular significance to us today if it had not been featured so prominently in the film (and in the marketing for the film). Does that fact have an impact on this photo's suitability for FP? Spebudmak 22:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support if there are better pictures, I would like to see them. Until then, this picture is very good. Wikipediarules2221 05:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Very little visible. Darkness. 65.93.215.29 03:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. The darkness adds to the ambience. If it was lit up like a Christmas tree it would not have the same effect. A haunting and effective image of a shipwreck that killed so many. Legis 18:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
