  • Oppose Very busy looking image. Too much going on in the background.--Amadscientist (talk) 12:43, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Partially due to Amadscientist's point, but more due to focus issues, including haloing around the body and tail of the aircraft... gazhiley 14:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support To address the above issues: the color of the helicopter contrasts very nicely with the snowy mountains. The halo effect mentioned by gazhiley might be the tail rotor and exhaust fumes.Kurzon (talk) 17:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
