Support Good mood and composition, high encyclopedic value -- Ras67 (talk) 19:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Question - Can you correct the slanting on the right and left sides? It's distracting. I'd like vertical things to look vertical, not slanted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- I've fixed the two lattice masts, but the placards in the foreground are difficult without lens profile. --Ras67 (talk) 17:58, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. It's a lot better now. I'm still not positive everything is straight even now, though. I'd like to support this, but I don't feel yet that I can. I think the problem is the big lattice mast on the right, which now seems to my eye, especially relative to the other one farther away and the placard, to be leaning slightly to the right. I find the composition adequate to support, but I take B137's point on "grittiness". I was ascribing it to rocket fuel exhaust, but close inspection shows it to be nearly equal throughout the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Too much going on in this to give it any wow. Daniel Case (talk) 01:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Per Daniel and for distortion. --Medium69 You wanted talk to me? 12:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Quite distorted. --Tremonist (talk) 13:40, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Looks "gritty". Doesn't have much going for it besides extreme megapixel count. Not every NASA or US gov work is spectacular just because the cameras are good. B137 (talk) 22:59, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Per Daniel. INeverCry 23:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Per others. -- Pofka (talk) 11:10, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
