- Comment – thanks to you Adam, we have a FP of her here, why have a second FP? Bammesk (talk) 01:00, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Why not? I think that, if we only accept one photo per subject, we end up with our good illustrations being lost in a sea of mediocre ones also in the articles. Better to accept multiple images that are each distinct than encourage a philosophy of all the other photos in an article being poor-quality.

- Bammesk That's the same image that's nominated here. Did you mean another image? Armbrust The Homunculus 13:48, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oops, I meant this image, I fixed the link. Thanks. Bammesk (talk) 14:36, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm not loving the composition on this one. The lights at the top are especially distracting. I think a much tighter crop would be an improvement. Kaldari (talk) 17:56, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment – Quite cluttered snapshot. – Sca (talk) 12:56, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Sca and Kaldari: I think that's inevitable for this image's EV. We could crop a bit, but a lot of the busy-ness is giving information about the wind tunnel, and if you crop out the wind tunnel, you're just left with an image redundant to and a bit worse than the lead one.

- In that case, it may just not be suitable as an FP. Kaldari (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose I agree it is a poor composition. EV but not FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:57, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

- Support high EV, in my opinion, outweighs aesthetic considerations. (t · c) buidhe 00:24, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
