Support A spectacle, wow! Technically it is also a good one. --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Maybe I'm paranoid, but doubt if the rainbow is true. --A.Savin 02:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC) Well I also have my doubts, but I don't know how to check it --Michielverbeek (talk) 20:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Even with the reflection on the pilot's window? Tomer T (talk) 20:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a U.S. Army photo from www.defense.gov. They are not usually in the habit of doctoring their photos, they record events, and from time to time they come across unusual things because of their many missions. I doubt very much they go about adding pretty rainbows to their photos. Check out the source. --Cart (talk) 22:02, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks for clarifying. --A.Savin 01:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - would make for a useful propaganda image, but it's hard not to support this kind of serendipity. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Great shot, but I don't really dig the editing here. Feels like the contrast has been pushed quite a bit, crushing the blacks in the shadows. Deep shadows like this would make some sense in direct sunlight. But under the diffuse lighting we have here, they do not look convincing to me (also makes the sharpening haloes at the bottom of the fuselage and along the ropes even more visible). The colors of the rainbow also look off on my screen: there's some blue/violet adjacent to the red on the left, yellow and green are somewhat missing, and the clouds to the right of the violet look more blue again (less gray than in the rest of the image). Looks loke some local color adjustments were done not only on the rainbow (which is fine) but also on some of the surrounding clouds, giving the rainbow a blue-ish glow. --El Grafo (talk) 12:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose In addition to the issues with the lighting El Grafo points out, I am just not wowed by this compositionally. The chopper is tilted, the jeep tilted even more, and the rainbow is off to the side ... it all feels very random. The coincidence of these three things being in the same picture does not, to me, by itself make it an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 00:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The coposition is amazing but the contrast is pushed too high and the blacks are too deep. Cmao20 (talk) 14:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
