Air Force One over Mt. Rushmore[edit]

Reason
Perspective is confusing without more context; we have much better pictures of both the airplane and the mountain, and this is a better picture of both. Currently slated for POTD for Jan. 30. Chick Bowen 22:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep imagine taking that shot! Wow, very interesting picture. Really considering it is actually pretty clear, and technically not bad. Arjun 23:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, I don't see it as all that impressive. I imagine it was taken from an escort plane. This image strikes me as more impressive in the combination of composition and timing, and this one in rarity and sheer luck. Chick Bowen 23:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, this picture should be featured merely for the fact that it is an extremely rare photograph of the right side of Air Force One. Noclip 03:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist. All of these grainy images need to go; they're unacceptable as FPs. The right side of Air Force One is basically the same as the left, so no big deal there. It being over mount rushmore doesn't do much for me and if anything it's just a huge ugly brown field in the image and detracts somewhat from the subject. --frothT 08:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. The right side is the one with all the classified stuff, even if you can't see it from the outside. Most other photos show the left side, though a flip could take care of that...--HereToHelp 14:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: It's a great and unique image even if it was accidental -- which may not be the case. --Mactographer 12:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I like this image it is very cool.Bewareofdog 22:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Very nice picture, and definitely better than the other that the nominator showed. Joe 04:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Visually stunning and difficult to reproduce. Excellent at "drawing you in" to the article. —Dgiest c 05:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This is not up for POTD on January 30, 2007 -- it was January 30, 2006. howcheng {chat} 18:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, bother I hate the new year. Yes, quite right, sorry. Chick Bowen 02:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn; I wouldn't have nominated if I hadn't forgotten what year it was. Chick Bowen 02:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
