Comment can you state why you think this should be a FP? I somehow have a problem to see sth in the picture that would justify a promotion to FP. It is for sure a interesting historical picture, which is of value especially in the wikipedia. But as FP...i dont know... --AngMoKio 19:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment To be completely honest, I nominated the picture because it is a personal favorite of mine. IMHO, this is an execelent example of black and white photography, and its location here on the sea creates a powerful and moving picture, which may or may not be proper justification for promotion.

Oppose -- The picture looks nice and has historical value, but I don't see FP value. The composition sets the main ship almost right into the middle and then leaves much room to the right that IMHO in this case doesn't fit perfectly. Also, I'm not convinced of its, uh, "wow factor"... --Ibn Battuta 15:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree. Historical value not enough to ignore quality issues - Alvesgaspar 20:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose quality, resolution and compositon -- Gorgo 16:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Heh, this photo is so iconic it's the cover image for one of the books on the Pacific War. But no, it's not a 12-megapixel art image. For an en: version I uploaded ages ago, I cropped on the bottom and right to emphasize the ships more. Stan Shebs 18:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
