Arlanda Airport
in July 1972
Reason
This photo never fails to amaze me everytime I look at it. For a photo which is now nearly 40 years old, the quality is absolutely AMAZING! It has often been said that it looks like a computer generated image, but low and behold, it is absolutely real, and is quite probably the most amazing photo of this vintage Soviet aircraft that I have seen

  • Support - Not much more to add to this discussion. High resolution, plane is centered. A blown highlight on the nose, but I don't think it's that bad. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:20, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Tail is clipped, background is too busy, distracting and unappealing with that ugly dome thing, as well as that poorly placed light-post looking like a giant aerial in thumb. --jjron (talk) 13:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- As above, especially on the clipped wing and tight crop. Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:20, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Poor lighting, blown highlights, bad framing. JFitch (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Cropped tail, poor lighting and too many distracting details - for example, the numerous marks on the plain body and on the ground in front. Maybe this all (except for tail) can be tweaked by editing, but I would rather reshoot. Materialscientist (talk) 10:31, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
