 * Support both as nominator --Mbz1 (talk) 03:13, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support either, prefer original. Why does the caption say "...could be carrying a helicopter bucket, a specialised bucket suspended..." and not is carrying? --Muhammad (talk)  13:27, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your question (it is much easier than explaining about 2+2=4 :) ). I'm never sure how to write a caption in English, but because the image was nominated as an image of a helicopter that might or might not carry the bucket I've decided to write it like this. Please feel free to correct it as you belive is right.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree with Muhammad - I've updated the caption. --jjron (talk) 07:55, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak support alt. Angle and context are far better in alt for mine. However focus looks to be on the bucket and seems to leave the front of the helicopter slightly OOF, which is a little off-putting. Also a shame it wasn't a little higher up to have sky behind the chopper with the rest of the image context, as at thumbnail the chopper gets a little lost in the trees, although it's OK once you go to image page size. --jjron (talk) 07:45, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * For the record, Weak oppose original. --jjron (talk) 06:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Alt Better EV as it shows the type of situation this would be used in, especially with the smoke rising from the trees behind... And where there's smoke there must be fire, and thus this image suits it better... Otherwise it's just a random helicopter with a bucket...  Gazhiley (talk) 14:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support both - the original has a better view of the helicopter, the alt is useful for Helitack. We could easily feature both. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 210 FCs served 10:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
