Oppose. Herald, you really need to consider these images from a technical point of view and not just 'wow factor'. This image is considerably tilted, and very soft and blotchy due to the low-end camera and what looks like inappropriate settings used. If you need guidance, have a look at the Featured Picture Criteria and examples of technical problems. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 15:49, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But I find no such facts here my dear. And you can't get an image with no tilt from air and only such images are available for landscapes and mountains.Herald 16:07, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean... All images can and should be corrected for tilt. I don't mean a downwards tilt (looking downwards from the air), I mean a rotational tilt. It is tilting to the right, the horizon is not horizontal. As for 'facts', you are right that many of the criteria are open to interpretation, but you are invited to consider existing Featured Pictures in order to get a sense of what the standards are. In any case, there are also some facts. For example, look at Criteria #2. This image is only 1420 pixels heigh. The criteria states that the image must be 1500 pixels high or wide in both dimensions. So it fails already for that reason. We sometimes make an exception, but this is usually for rare or historical images. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 16:23, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Diliff. While this is a stunning view, the quality is very low when compared to other FPs. The tilt could be fixed, but this would result in smaller picture, when this is already very small- especially considering the subject is so large! J Milburn (talk) 18:36, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Diliff. Also it's below our minimum resolution. Mattximus (talk) 20:08, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
