Waterbury - Oxford Airport


I'd like to nominate this picture b/c it adds to the article it is featured in and I am very proud of it's quality. It appears in Waterbury-Oxford Airport and I, ZookPS3, created it.

Comments:
 * There is motion blur in the lower left hand corner, but this will likely fail at FPC simply b/c it lacks the striking quality of FP. Colors seems washed out (the haziness definitely doesn't help), the objects are not particularly sharp, and the sky is overall an uninteresting shade of gray. The enc. for the article is certainly very high, and it's a respectable shot (especially considering the conditions you had to take this in, I imagine), so it's definitely a valuable contribution. Unfortunately, in terms of technical quality (and also in terms of the quasi-unofficial breathtaking "wow" factor, which can sometimes make or break decisions), this picture falls behind the general FP standard. Thanks for your contributions, and for nominating at Peer review. --Malachirality 18:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * So if I could take a sharper picture with better weather conditions (blue skys) it would have a better chance? Thanks for you honest opinion. -- ZookPS3 22:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It would have a better chance (a ccw tilt-correction is also needed), but technical quality will have to be superior given the subject's lack of "wow" factor (for lack of a better term). Contrast with this picture of an airport, where visual "stunningness" compensates for the sub-par technical quality. --Malachirality 01:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
