  • I really like this one. Would you mind if I denoised a bit, though? (Also, the exposure is a touch too high, methinks) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:41, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not at all, and thank you for offering. Drop the exposure a tad as well why you are at it. talk→ WPPilot  03:52, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Very encyclopedic. Very hard to come across. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - You could have zoomed it. I can hardly spot the statue in the article where it is the lead image..--The Herald : here I am 08:53, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Considering Liberty Island is about the island itself...  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:18, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I do not own a "zoom" len's (well I do have a 100 to 400mm f2.8) but the point is, that I shoot prime for a few reasons. Aerial photography is tough enough. This was in a helicopter that was my first time flying and the motion is a lot different then the planes I normally fly. Vibration is always a consideration so less lens means less vibration. The skyline of Manhattan is a busy place so shooting anything other then the 50mm standard lens here would be a waste of time, as once I turn and head to Manhattan, you can see the complex nature of the area is unreal. Here is the video from the shoot: http://vimeo.com/114738373 Enjoy the ride - --talk→ WPPilot  15:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Its good to have pilot in our FP party. For that Support the nom. But I have concern that this image is not in lead for any related article, save the island.  - The Herald (here I am) 15:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sigh, Herald, now they have to be in the lead too? Hafspajen (talk) 01:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - looks good. Hafspajen (talk) 14:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Great EV (specifically in Liberty Island), not the kind of photo you see every day. I'm slightly baffled by Herald's concerns... J Milburn (talk) 13:25, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Nice image. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:39, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose It's a terrific picture of the island itself, but I can't say I'm thrilled with how washed out the far background and sky are.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I've held off voting for this in case Crisco 1492 was able to produce the alt he offered - as this has not been forthcoming I will have to oppose sorry - too noisy leading to lack of clarity in the finer details. Image is a tad over exposed as well leading to blown highlights, most noticably in the sky and the midriff of Lady Liberty... gazhiley 11:13, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Look at the upload history. I already uploaded it like a week ago. You may need to clear your cache if you're still getting a ton of noise. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:31, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh - I'm used to them being placed as an alt, so was waiting for that... Looking at your upload then I will stick to my vote - still very noisy... Lady Liberty's face is virtually unrecognisable to me with the blur and pixalation of it... gazhiley 15:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Though I do not have the technical vocabulary to explain exactly why, there is something about the lighting, colours and/or exposure level of this picture that I find rather unsatisfactory. 217.44.208.182 (talk) 18:08, 24 January 2015 (UTC
