Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Eurocopter AS350B

Reason: Good, sharp, high quality image and a good angle. A possible criticism is the motionblurred rotors: unfortunately I didn't have time to prepare for the shot, I heard it coming, turned around and just had time to take a snap.

Comment Is the guy in the helicopter taking your picture? --Muhammad(talk) 15:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was standing part-way up the summit with pretty impressive views (for Australia) behind me so I assume he was photographing that --Benjamint 00:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of geocoding? I was up there and passed through swifts creek maybe two weeks ago, so curious. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support The motion blur on the blades is acceptable IMO --Muhammad(talk) 00:42, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think the blur is actually desirable - it wouldn't look realistic with stationary blades. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, motion blur looks natural. Fletcher (talk) 14:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support agree with Fletcher et al re motion of blades. Gazhiley (talk) 13:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support It's a pity the horizon cuts right through the helicopter, but still an excellent photo. I don't think the blurred blades are a problem at all. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
