Reason: 4k super clear aerial photo shot on "RED: Epic Dragon" of larger sailing yachts racing up a narrow channel in Newport Beach, California. Super rare view and perspective as this airspace is directly in the departure path of commercial traffic. To the right is the end of Lido Isle, on the left is Dover Shores and the former home of John Wayne at the top.

Oppose It's hard to see what's going on in this image: it depicts a channel with some tiny boats in it which aren't clearly racing one another (one of them is heading in entirely the wrong direction). There's nothing that grabs the viewer's attention. Nick-D (talk) 22:55, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - These are 40 to 50 foot racing sailing boats. In sailing you can not sail into the wind and that boat that is "Going the wrong direction" is tacking so it does not hit the parked boats... You must not sail, look for a Beer Can Race near you to learn how... :) If you look at the article linked it will give more to work with. A link to the tiny boats is HERE--WPPilot 04:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)talk

Oppose sharpness is lacking. At this distance a 4k shot of such small objects is unlikely to be good enough. --Pine^✉ 20:09, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
