•  Oppose Even though we do not have a FP of a space shuttle. I would prefer a picture where the space shuttle is a lot closer. --Digon3 ^talk 20:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment We have 3 that I was able to find: , and . I agree we don't seem to have a good shot of it in space. Ben Aveling 02:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I was looking in Commons:Featured pictures/Astronomy only, I didn't even think to look at Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Vehicles. --Digon3 ^talk 13:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Neither did I.  :-) I did a search for category 'PD NASA' in category 'Featured pictures' then looked for anything that might be a shuttle (STS, Columbia, Atlantis) Try [1] Regards, Ben Aveling 20:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose What are the white stains? Reflections? Or some kind of smoke? Beside that, i cannot find anything special on this picture. Ok, space pictures are always great because we cant go there by our own. So in my opinion they must be perfect to get featured. This one lacks of a good composition and the subject, as Digon allready said, is too far away. --Simonizer 08:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Focus appears to be on the space station, not on the shuttle, and both seems just slightly overexposed. Doesn't quite do it for me. Regards, Ben Aveling 10:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with Simonizer. --startaq 15:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Exposure and distance as mentioned. /Daniel78 21:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose don't like the composition -- Gorgo 22:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral While it isn't as sharp as I'd like, it is the sharpest shot of the shuttle in space (or near space). It doesn't have the wow factor of Image:Atlantis Docked to Mir.jpg. But I do like the composition, the image of the open shuttle rising towards this other object with the earth behind, so small yet so large, and nicely visible, that works. So I withdraw my oppose. But the slight overexposure, the lack of clarity, the white stripy smears on the right, I can't support either. Regards, Ben Aveling 22:17, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I think the exposure is perhaps mitigating considering the light source. It's not like you can just wait around for the perfect twilight/sunset out there in space. -- Ram-Man 15:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Support True. And very hard to go back for another shot. Ben Aveling 21:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing really special to me. Do we really have to feature like every NASA image? --MichaD | Michael Apel 11:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

result: 9 support, 6 oppose, 0 neutral => not featured. Simonizer 12:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
