Support Very interesting place and nice golden hour lighting. Also, how did you manage to get all that in focus at f/3.2 on medium format? --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Part was luck, part was the (borrowed) Leaf Aptus II digital back (up to 80MP images).--Godot13 (talk) 07:03, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I just now saw this nominated. Thanks ArildV! -- Godot13 (talk) 06:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Impressive, but the crop could be better, agree with Kleuske Poco a poco (talk) 12:22, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose As suggested before, the crop should be IMHO better. Sorry for it --Chmee2 (talk) 10:25, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't know exactly what it is I don't like about this one. The crop has something to do with it, perhaps. But maybe it's the light ... maybe too late in the day so that the raking light actually works against this? Daniel Case (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Impressive that aerial photography gets to commons. This shot is very valuable given the size and shape of the subject. I understand what Daniel Case is saying, but when I looked at the fantastic detail at 100%, I had to support. --99of9 (talk) 21:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
