F-35 Lightning II

Crop - A prototype of the F-35 Lightning II in flight during testing. When this photo was taken the program was still in the testing phase. Since then, the program has progressed to the pre-production stage of development.

Original

Reason: The picture is in focus and has high encyclopedic value. I put this through peer review and I got a response that indicated this would be a good candidate. The whole reason for the crop was to even out the picture and remove the bit of plane or helicopter from the bottom of the original.

Support Crop. An impressive and informative image. The crop makes for a nicer composition and allows for more detail in the thumb. NauticaShad es 22:44, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Question How does it allow for more detail in the thumbnail? Both images are the same width and thumbnail size is usually set by width, not height. The thumbs seem to have the same detail, at least to me (just visual inspection). Matt Deres (talk) 16:24, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think what Nautica means is that the picture is smaller so more words fit into the thumb without shrinking the plane any more. Elephantissimo (talk) 16:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
