  • Support Nice detail, clear enough to see the size of the planes etc, and enough of the surrounding land to be able to clearly see where this airport sits demographically... And of course my favourite detail is in this picture - a plane using the runway! Nice... gazhiley 16:50, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment-- I'm just wondering what makes this stand out versus other photos of airports? chsh (talk) 16:39, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose thanks to the uploader for the useful and illustrative photo, however on my screen it appears as both a poor-quality image and also somewhat blurry. As Chsh asks, I'm also unclear as to what makes this image "distinct" or an example of WPs best work. A good photo, but not one of our best. --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:21, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment chsh & Tom (LT) - while I cannot answer your comment on the quality, please do not view these in comparison with other pictures. The criteria for judging these are as a standalone picture - therefore do not judge them on whether or not they stand out against other photos. Each to be judged in their own merit.
