Air Force One over Mt. Rushmore edit

 
A suitable caption for the image
Reason
The image doesn't seem to be upto the standards of Wikipedia's FPs anymore. At full size, the image looks very grainy. The plane also looks over contrasted to me and there seems to be white specs splattered over the trees. It's possible for the specs to be fixed but I don't think anything will reduce the amount of graininess the image suffers from.

  • Keep per general sentiment in previous delist discussion. Pstuart84 Talk 10:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No doubt this image is amazing and it would be difficult to take another shot just like this. Jared (t)  21:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per not only one, but two previous delist discussions. NauticaShades 21:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. 8thstar 02:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per known flaws, multiple delist nominations, been on the front page three times (once as FA, twice as FP), no big deal, saves us effort in the future. Let's be realistic and pragmatic about this. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The multiple delist noms were to keep the image; I don't see what difference it makes that it's been on the front page 3 times; and it's a little condescending to imply that those wanting to keep the image are not being "realistic and pragmatic". Pstuart84 Talk 17:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist each half of the image detracts from the other; no enc value added by having both AF1 and Mt Rushmore in the same shot. Mangostar (talk) 14:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak delist per nom and per Mangostar; two substandard shots in the same frame do not a featured picture make. Matt Deres (talk) 16:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per all the above ← κεηηε∂γ (shout at me) 15:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per previous discussions.--ragesoss (talk) 20:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
