 * Question Can the contrast be fixed?  Zoo Fari  23:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean by the contrast..? Seems a well contrasted image to me - RGB values range from near black to near white. --Fir0002 10:48, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps he's talking about the colour of the choppers against the sky, maybe an unfortunately good camouflage... --jjron (talk) 14:24, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Unfortunately the overlapping between the 2 grey helicopters makes the picture confusing, and the background compounds this. Ksempac (talk) 12:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Yes, the image is confusing due overlapping and (perhaps) indirect camouflage, if this is fixed, the image should be better. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 09:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't really do much about the overlap - that was the point of the aerobatics - and the grey cloud + grey paint can't really be changed without a lot of PS work. I've got a shot of a single Squirrel Helicopter on a reasonable blue patch of sky which I'll upload soon --Fir0002 11:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Good photography but confusing composition. A good quality single helicopter image would be more valuable. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fine image, but lower-than-standard FP comp.  ceran  thor 14:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per due to the composition and color - the gray helicopters crossing in the gray sky do not add much educational value to the articles .--Caspian blue 17:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
