Weak oppose Very good light and detail level and well caught moment, but I do not like the tight crop of the tail to the left and the shadow to the right, sorry. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Sorry,per Slaunger,the I don't like the crop --LivioAndronico talk 07:57, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yes, the crops are tight and 16:9 would probably give the subject more room to breathe, but it's excellent in every other way and I like the shadow very much. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 19:11, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We could look at File:Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 woah!.jpg as see that although it is a fantastic photo, it is unlikely to be FP in its current state (ignoring the size issue) because it is "boxed in" in the frame. The analogous version of the photo being discussed here is to the right. Slaunger and LivioAndronico2013 have issues with the crop. The crop is fine IMHO for the purposes of FP -- the aircraft is not boxed in the frame, and has plenty of room to breathe. russavia (talk) 10:48, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because of the right and left crops. --Kadellar (talk) 17:18, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The shadows in the nominated image gives highlight to the image showing hight above the ground etc. Josve05a (talk) 19:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Question What about a little "cheat", and adding some space left and right by cloning ? --Jebulon (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it works. :) J e e 06:10, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative version with more room

Info I don' t try to be deceptive. But please don't focus your review only on the retouched parts of the picture. Of course, you will probably find flaws (repeated patterns etc...) because it is a cloning. Remember instead: are you sure you will find (and search) the flaws if you did not know it is a retouched version ? Thanks in advance.--Jebulon (talk) 12:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Better, IMO.--Jebulon (talk) 12:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
