•  Info created by Sergey Kustov (User:bushman787) - uploaded by Russavia - nominated by Russavia -- russavia (talk) 13:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- russavia (talk) 13:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
• Should definitely be cropped top and bottom to balance the frame. Łukasz Wolf Golowanow (talk) 13:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
  • • It is unbalanced, but I think the cloud gives it more charm than being suspended in blank blueness. --Avenue (talk) 21:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
    • I agree, which is why I nominated it. The cloud takes away the "blue screen" effect, the photo would otherwise have. Charming, nice word for such a photo. russavia (talk) 00:31, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Moreover, Only two active nominations by the same user (that is, nominations under review and not yet closed) are allowed. You should probably withdraw this nomination and re-nominate in a few days. Łukasz Wolf Golowanow (talk) 13:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

•  Support as nominator. I give my limit of nominations to this picture. Nice photo, let this is my nomination -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 19:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't think the crop is well chosen. Not only because of the lack of headroom, but also because for such a high aspect ratio object, the aspect ratio of the picture is fairly square. E.g. why include the half-cloud? --99of9 (talk) 01:30, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I will provide my opinio on your question. The actual subject of the photo is the aircraft, not the cloud. A more detailed view would provide either much more fluffy white cloud and/or empty blue space. By including the fluff of cloud it is an actual visual reminder that the aircraft is inflight, and is in such ratio that the aircraft, and not the empty space around it, is the core subject of the photo. If the cloud was say the top of a building, I would agree with you, as it would be clear from such a view that it is the aircraft AND the buildings which are the subject of the photo, and such a view should be of the panoramo of the city and the aircraft flying over top. This is obviously not the case here. russavia (talk) 02:15, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

•  Weak support because I still don't like the crop. But otherwise the photo is flawless. Łukasz Wolf Golowanow (talk) 06:55, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
• My proposal is to retouch the clouds away to have a unitary blue background. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:03, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
