We've probably got too many military images, but this submarine has a fresh angle. Its a US navy image recently uploaded by Pedant. - Solipsist 08:46, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Oppose. On reflection, I agree with Janderk. Support. Mark1 04:20, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The thumbnail looks great, but compression/clarity/whatever on the full size is distractingly bad.

 * Oppose. The setting is perfect, but the colors have been pumped up in photoshop too much, making the sea a strange kind of blue and the dark gray submarine look unnaturally green. Janderk 12:41, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Possibly, but its not unusual for a neutral object to take on a blue-green hue in water, see for example this white whale. There are also some odd striations in the water, so perhaps there is some sort of seaweed or algal bloom thing going on. The Sargasso Sea has a reputation for unusual colours due to seaweed, although the caption says this picture was taken somewhere near Malaysia. I couldn't find an easy way of reducing any colour shifts in photoshop without causing worse problems elsewhere in the image, on the other hand the RGB profile although fairly smooth has slight gaps in it, so I would guess some processing has been done, most likely a boost in saturation. -- Solipsist 06:41, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Agree with Matthewcieplak and it is over retouched. --Fir0002 21:39, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Just because it looks retouched - doesn't mean that's necessarily the case... ed g2s  &bull;  talk  02:23, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
