•  Question what are those horizontal lines on the spill ? --ianaré (talk) 11:10, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I think that is how it takes the images and pastes them. This satellite. --すけ (talk) 13:19, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Interesting. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:45, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting subject, but I really don't like the parallel lines in the sea and the added border lines (state/county limits?). --Eusebius (talk) 17:54, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  CommentBest is slot image. That satellite will not likely take another photo like that until after decades or perhaps never. That has a heavy weight. --すけ (talk) 18:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I can easily believe it is the best picture of its kind, but it doesn't make it an FP for me. We have sat pictures of significantly better quality. Also, the same raw sat images could be better processed to form a better image, so I don't really have any second thoughts about my opposition. --Eusebius (talk) 21:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Please motivate your opposition. --Eusebius (talk) 18:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose - A neat picture, but it's not a particularly informative illustration of the oil spill itself. At the top of the Gulf, it is difficult to differentiate between what is oil and merely opaque water. There is also a deceptive large glare toward the bottom of the image, which is not part of the spill, according to this map for May 18, the day this satellite picture was taken. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:49, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
