•  Support - This is surely an unusual subject for an FP nominee. I leave it to your judgment on whether to promote it, but it surely is striking, in my opinion, and I think the partly cloudy skies suit the subject. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:34, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Excellent composition. Looks like a huge bird soaring the sky with it's silver wings.-- Johann Jaritz (talk) 08:44, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:57, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support per Johann. Daniel Case (talk) 11:54, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Great shot and composition. At first I wondered if the curves were natural or distortion but I found this, which seems to be the same scene but a different composition. PumpkinSky talk 12:42, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Has nobody complained about the horrendous vertical perspective distortion!!! :-) I'd have preferred a clear blue sky for the abstract composition, and a little less dull grey. Btw, File:Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant - Eggs from Below.jpg is another photo he took of the site. -- Colin (talk) 13:06, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Question By distortion, do you mean something other than the normal foreshortening as it goes up? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:30, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Very cool shot, giving almost anatomical associations. :D I do have a bit of an issue with the lack of info in the description, and hopefully we can get geocoding too. FPs should have good image pages. As for Colin's perspective objections, I don't see any problems; with a shot of this nature, the perspective is as it should be. --Peulle (talk) 17:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Goodness me, did nobody spot the smiley? Ikan, yes what we call "vertical perspective distortion" (when someone angles their camera up a bit) which causes converging verticals, is the same as standard depth converging parallels. In technical work, with a rectilinear perspective, we expect it only in the depth axis, not vertical or horizontal, as the viewer/camera view is supposed to be perpendicular to the subject and parallel to the ground. For this it is fine, of course. Btw, see Foreshortening, it isn't quite the same thing. -- Colin (talk) 17:46, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• I saw the smiley but was still interested in your explanation. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• I didn't see it. Dang ... --Peulle (talk) 18:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
