  • Support It's certainly of a high technical quality and resolution. Nice shot! RO(talk) 22:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose - I am fairly certain you missed the focus a bit. Much of the runway is very soft, yet the bottom is rather sharp. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:05, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment this was a tough shot. This plane has a 4 blade prop and you can see portions of it in the picture so the balance was tough to obtain. talk→ WPPilot  06:29, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, I read the Commons nomination. Still can't get behind the focus being essentially right under the aircraft's nose. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:31, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Remember I am also traveling at 125 mph towards the airport at the same time.
  • Comment. Is the colour accurate? Seems very blue .... 109.153.225.51 (talk) 13:59, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Given the technical difficulty of this shot, I can forgive the slight variation in focus - the EV is huge for this Airport as you don't see this view very easily! gazhiley 12:33, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I think you could have got a better shot in a deckchair attached to helium balloons (they love those near airports), but for runway enthusiasts it is hard to fault the EV (I'm not one, but I did try to empathise with them while reviewing). Belle (talk) 23:54, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per gazhiley. --Fauzan✆ talk✉ mail 06:36, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Added it to Places/Others, because this image shows the runway the more prominently. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
