- Comment - I'd prefer is this were cropped a bit; currently there's a lot of empty water/sky –Juliancolton | Talk 02:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Info on creator is incorrect - source is Agencia Brasil. Looks like they have a creative commons licence, but I don't speak Portuguese, perhaps someone can verify before nom proceeds? The image page does claim it's OK. If so, then need to update the creator at the top. --jjron (talk) 07:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- I've fixed the creator. It looks like the license (Creative Commons — Attribution 2.5 Brazil) is ok according to this, no? Sasata (talk) 06:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- Further fix on creator. I'll let someone else confirm licensing (it's not my area of interest), but if there's no complaints by closing I suppose we'll assume it's OK. --jjron (talk) 07:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, it looks good to me. wadester16 13:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

- Support - Although there is a lot of open sky and water, I think it adds to the feel of the size of the platform. It is just massive! Also, because of the height of the platform, I'm not sure if I would like to see it cropped at the top. If it is cropped on the sides, you will cut the islands in the background. Just my opinion. Very good photo, I also love how you can see the small whitecaps from the ocean lapping against the "legs". Compared to the other photos on the Oil Platform page, this one shows the entire platform, and is framed straight. Zulualpha (talk) 14:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support - great quality image, fantastic enc and subject. I've been on one of these on dry land (my dad works for a company that designs the things) and they are awe-inspiring. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 17:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
