• Comment – good composition but the sharpness isn't FP standard at full size (see the far right side for example). Bammesk (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
• Comment sharpness may simply be an issue of the shear volume of air its being viewed through. For an FP I think it needs slightly clearer information as to what exactly I'm looking at.©Geni (talk) 00:17, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
