Aerial Photo of The City of Dana Point, California

 * Reason:Great photo I took a few years ago that shows the entire city of Dana Point, California, a city located in southern Orange County, California. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1, it is a popular local destination for surfing.

 * Comment - Nothing really striking about this image, is there? What Commons Featured Pictures call "wow". I mean if it was fantastically encyclopaedic, that wouldn't matter. But it's not that either. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak support I rather like this photo. While I agree that it doesn't have a huge deal of 'wow factor', it does provide a very clear and high quality illustration of the topic of the article. Nick-D (talk) 11:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak support - This could be clearer, perhaps (though out of a moving plane I don't know how clear we'd expect this to be). However, I have to say I like the idea of providing images which position a city within its landscape, rather than the omnipresent photomontages of famous landmarks. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak support. Quite soft at 100% and not that high res for a landscape photo, but it's one of the more interesting aerial views we have and is well composed. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  15:32, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comment. Aerial photography is tough, traveling at speeds over 100MPH creates a challenge in terms of composition and the weather is always a unknown. Cheers! talk→   WPPilot   18:12, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
