  • Comments Still trying to wrap my head around this one. There is the vignetting (likely from the window from which the picture was taken) that I don't like and feel should be removed. I'm not too sure on EV here; to me, the image does not represent either aircraft too well, and only marginally better at showing both. The F-14's tail covering part of the F-4 is not ideal. Also, the picture having been taken from the side, there is not a lot of depth, making it hard to compare the aircrafts' size relative to each other. I am leaning towards opposing right now, but would like to know what others think first. --WingtipvorteX PTT 18:09, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I agree with clear contrast, good exposure, etc, but image is just soft and subjects still seem tiny within the frame. Too much dead space. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 20:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
