 * Support as nominator -- Brand meister t   20:18, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - The crop is a little tight, but overall good composition and colors. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 08:27, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: It is striking but at the cost of EV. The fish-eye distortion is so large that it's difficult to tell what you're even looking at a rocket, much less what the rocket actually looks like. You can see the distortion in the background buildings, they're all leading to the left 20 degrees.--RDBury (talk) 14:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not a fisheye lens; it's an ultrawide (there's no curving of straight lines). Also, such distortion is inevitable with large objects, like rockets. Cowtowner (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Distortion is only inevitable if you're taking a picture from this close up.  Jujutacular  talk 14:23, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, oppose, kind of suffers from the same problems as the centipede above - a striking photo, but you can't really tell that you're looking at a rocket from this perspective. Are there other similar photos? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:46, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Very visually striking, to the point where I want to read more of the article, and conveys the immensity of the rocket well (and I think it's very clear that you are looking at a rocket). Also gives good EV on how it is transported (note the railway tracks). Maybe a smidge underexposed. Cowtowner (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Don't see the need for the exaggerated perspective and very wide lens. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per JJ. J Milburn (talk) 10:46, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose I can't grasp exactly how large this is due to the obscure perspective. Razum2010 (talk) 01:20, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose tight crop, distorted --kaʁstn 14:49, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
