Oppose I know that there's nothing you can do about it, but the clouds are really, really distracting to me. Sorry, Sven Manguard Wha? 05:02, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant Oppose as I love planes, but too much of the plane is either slightly out of focus or in dark shadow to make the EV high enough to forgive the distracting background... gazhiley 11:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think he's being literal... If you glance at it it looks like it was on a blue background, but half of it rubbed out... Well, that's the point he was making anyway - Don't take what he said too literaly! gazhiley 13:37, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
