The shadow of one contrail cast onto the other really lends a sense of depth and dimensionality.

•  Oppose -- Sorry. The (stated) subjects are no more than specs. There's a lot of cloud and condenstation trails, which look very exciting, but if there are Mig-29's and F-15 displayed is anybodies guess. Kleuske (talk) 11:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment Yes, the contrails are the picture. The fact that the objects that make the trails are miniscule does not detract from them in the least. That those objects are named does not make it mandatory that I be able to read the serial numbers on them for this to be a valuable, high quality image. Kbh3rd (talk) 16:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support - As per Kbh3rd. Plenty of Wow. -- Pugilist (talk) 17:11, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Wow, unusually  Awesome! contrails. --Slaunger (talk) 19:55, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Kleuske + tilted horizon. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 05:26, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
  • The tilted horizon caused by the photographer's aircraft banking to the right and the contrail of one F-15 crossing up and over the other's path both make this a very dynamic photograph. You can practically feel the velocity as the nearer pair of aircraft close in on the farther pair. If there's a rule that says horizons must be horizontal, remember that breaking rules can make for much more interesting composition. -- Kbh3rd (talk) 01:46, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support. I don't think we need to be able to identify the planes, we can probably trust the caption and appreciate the composition as it is. It does look almost too perfect, as if they knew exactly what they were doing and what kind of photo they would get. Maybe I'm wrong and it was just an extremely lucky photo. :-) Diliff (talk) 13:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support If the FP gallery is about the “wow” effect, and that a picture of flowers or of an old pope gives you that feeling, then I don't see how this one couldn't be part of it. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 14:25, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
  • That is just because it is very difficult to take pictures of young popes, since centuries...--Jebulon (talk) 20:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
