Info German Army Sikorsky CH-53G Super Stallion (reg. 84+35, sn V65-33) at ILA Berlin Air Show 2016. C/u/n by me. — Julian H.^✈ 09:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Julian H.^✈ 09:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry. Not so impresive for FP. ~ Moheen ^{(keep talking)} 15:21, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support another great job --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:10, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very dynamic, and good sharpness for a panned photo. dllu (t,c) 07:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't see what makes this special. Certainly not the sky. And I don't like the nose-down position of the aircraft. Charles (talk) 17:16, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Why is a nose-down position a bad thing for a helicopter? That means it is flying fast/accelerating. — Julian H.^✈ 19:39, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not flying fast, but yes it is accelerating. I just think it looks awkward as a photo. Charles (talk) 16:04, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per other opposes. Daniel Case (talk) 18:14, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I quite like the nose-down/accelerating stance, which creates a much more dynamic and engaging photo than would a perfectly level helicopter just cruising along. The panning technique is excellent, as always, and while I suppose there's nothing "special" about the sky, there's nothing wrong with it, either. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:26, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good action photo. Although I can't see a helicopter in the nose down attack mode without hearing the Ride of the Valkyries in the background. --cart-Talk 09:55, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nose-down is not a helicopter attack mode and this isn't an attack machine anyway! Charles (talk) 16:09, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That may be so, but I have a vivid imagination. :) --cart-Talk 19:21, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A Wagnerian imagination is really worrying ;) Charles (talk) 10:17, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's more a Coppolan (if that's an adjective) imagination --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(it is an adjective now. ) ...and you are right. I'd recognize a Coppolan work anywhere, but that music is the only Wagner I know thanks to said film maker. ;) --cart-Talk 09:22, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

digression - Cart, you've never heard any of the overtures (preludes), the Liebestod, any of the other music from the Ring? I have to be in the right mood for Wagner, as his music can be very intense and emotionally draining, but in my opinion, he's one of the all-time great composers, up there in inspiration and structural mastery with people like Monteverdi, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven - the lot of them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan, for personal reasons, my choice, I've steared clear of Wagner. The reasons for that is not something I wan't to air here in public (and I'm dead serious here). There is so much more classic music to listen to. --cart-Talk 13:14, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is. And you wouldn't be the only one to have personal, ethical or philosophical reasons not to want to listen to (or in some cases, play) Wagner. I won't pursue the tangent. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Well done, good dynamism. – Lucas ^T 16:53, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent shoot, well executed. I know how difficult is take pictures of flying objects and especificly helicopters. I'm sure that you are the best flying airplane/objects in commons. We need support more works like this. Thanks for your nomination. --The Photographer 14:53, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice image... something that's really quite difficult when photographing choppers.--Dura-Ace (talk) 18:03, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
