Wikipedia:Picture peer review/USS Denver replenishment
I believe that this is one of the better images of an underway replenishment (aka replenishment at sea) by showing the actual people, rather than just cables being shot across. But then again I may just be blind due to the fact that I took this picture. It may also need to be cropped. And if anyway possible, whether it's FPC quality or not.

- This is a good picture, but I can't see it reaching featured status for a number of reasons. The main issue is to do with composition; it's all a little messy (I accept that that's probably inevitable with a photo like this, but it must be possible to frame it a bit better, say with the taller parts in the background framing the picture). Lighting also seems a little dull, and would benefit from more appealing colouring in the sky. Not being familiar with this process, I have no way of telling that underway replenishment is happening (it just looks like four blokes on deck to me), and if it is a very good shot of this, wonder why it isn't in that particular article. To be honest, until I checked the article and looked more closely here, I didn't even realise there were two ships involved here, much less what was happening. Thanks for putting it up here though. Would be interested to hear other opinions. --jjron (talk) 07:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
