Oppose. Poor image quality - small, noisy, highly compressed. But agree with nom that this would indeed be excellent if the image quality was up to scratch. FWIW, given the uploader's edit history, I wonder that this isn't potentially a copyvio anyway. --jjron (talk) 12:20, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is extremely noisy, and it is quite small. It barely fits the size requirements. The underside of the helicopter is also pretty dark. On the positive side, the composition and scene are nice, but that's about it.--Nanoman657 (talk) 14:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above Nik thestoned 16:03, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I really love the composition and the colours, but the technical qualities really aren't up to scratch. If you see another image that catches your attention, feel free to come back and nominate that! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:14, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close Only a photo of historical value, where a photo of better quality would be unobtainable, would ever get away with such a high amount of noise and low resolution. God Emperor^Talk 00:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment And also I would argue that this doesn't meet the minimum size requirements. Panoramas must be substantially larger than 1000px on the long edge to ensure sufficient detail can be seen. This is effectively a vertical panorama, so the same logic should apply. God Emperor^Talk 12:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted - image has been deleted as apparent copyvio. --jjron (talk) 13:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
