Support as nominator — TomStar81 (Talk) 21:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sorry; not close. At full size, there are all of the following: Compression Artifacts: on the sides of both engines. General fuzziness/blur: both wings. Some really crazy distortion that is probably a combination of compression artifacts, blown out highlights, bad white balance, motion blur: the wheels, especially the back ones. Some strange distortion that makes the asphalt look wavy and bumpy. A number of other technical issues in various places. Most of these problems can even be seen on the image page / not at full size, which means they are major, not minor, flaws. If anyone can comment on the series of things technically "off" with the wheel area in more detail than I did, I would be interested. Zakolantern 22:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- To the nominator: I should add that it caught my eye too; it's a fairly cool picture, just not at nearly the technical standards of a FP. Zakolantern 22:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I want to support... but its poor quality :( ^8thstar 23:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. That's a fine camera; something tragic was done to it in Photoshop, as evidenced by that being a 1.7 MP image from a 8.0 MP camera. :-/ I will say the thumbnail was striking, but that's not what we're going for on FP's. --Peter 02:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. --Mad Max 22:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
