•  Oppose due to excessively long filename. Sorry, mate, I told you... Wolf (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose No depth of field. Blurred anyway. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
•  SupportInteresting image, I like the way background planes are captured, looks almost as a mirage.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose Noisy and dull colours. The name is indeed extravagant. Pieter Kuiper, the DoF is all right, what you see is atmosperic disturbance from the engines of the first plane. Rama (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

•  Info I hope I don't step on anyone's toes, but I think the original image has a lot of potential and decided to give it a try. I increased the contrast of the midtones to get the terrain sligtly more visible and tried to improve the composition by cropping. Warning: this now falls slightly under the 2 mpix recommendation. --MattiPaavola (talk) 12:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
