B-2 Bomber
I think this image is striking; it appears in the B-2 Spirit article. Its an United States Air Force public domain photo loaded by Radical Bender.


 * Nominate and support. - TomStar81 10:14, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Dark, and an uninformative angle.  I prefer Image:Usaf.b2.spirit.750pix.jpg or Image:US Air Force B-2 Spirit.jpg. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 10:26, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh it's not that bad. It's a little hard to see details though, perhaps higher res if available? Enochlau 13:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. TomStar81 20:02, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Found a higher resolution shot. TomStar81 20:14, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the remark above, about "uninformative angle". The article on the B2 already has a conventional pic of the aircraft so I would regard this pic as a new angle on the B2 to make the article more enjoyable. So I'll support it - Adrian Pingstone 22:04, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I avoided the images suggested by Cryptic because its seems that everyone has a picture of the B-2 or F-117 flying... in the blue sky... at high noon... in plain sight. Its just so...depressing. This picture, on the other hand, shows what the B-2 was really built for: Stealth. Were it not for the eriely cool runway lights playing off the B-2's belly the craft would be practically invisible. That makes this shot worthy enough, in my opinion, to be a featured picture. TomStar81 05:49, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * support Fore ground interest plus very unconventional shot looking up into the cockpit. It almost looks like a UFO. David D. 17:52, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose (sadly) -- much as I love pictures of this beautiful plane, parts of the plane seem to merge with the background. Its difficult to make out the exact outline. (I know, that's the purpose of the plane) =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:25, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Very good shot of a plane and could serve as propaganda, but reluctantly, I'm not for it because of the dim yellow color. Please note that the image is also slanted and is not perfectly horizontal. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 20:53, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. I love this photo. The slight slant can be corrected easily if it's really a big problem... might give it a go if i have time. In any case, the lighting effects gives it the perfect mood for a photo of a stealth plane. Enochlau 15:48, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * See thumb#3, I have rotated the picture to make the plane horizontal using the hig res version. David D. 16:20, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * ( + ) Support rotated version --Fir0002 10:01, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - this is my formal vote, ignore the Support (above) that I put on during discussion. A lovely pic, moody with interesting lighting - Adrian Pingstone 12:44, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was the one who bolded your other vote; I kept forgetting to count it so I made it bigger so I would remember. I guess I hit save instead of cancel. My mistake. Sorry ^_^ TomStar81 18:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem! - Adrian Pingstone 22:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Very Sadly Oppose. I don't like the guy in it, and it is a little too dark for me. --ScottyBoy900Q ∞  20:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose I agree that the B-2 during the day is overdone, but I just don't like this picture, the wierd colouring from the runway lights, the person, and I dont like the angle.say1988
