Original – A historic covered bridge in Michigan. This is a drone photo taken of a new prospective of the bridge. This is the longest covered bridge in Michigan now. That is listed on the Michigan Historic Place List

Reason: The image is of high technical standards, the image is of high resolution, I hope others think of it is the best images. Looking at the images of some bridges it seems to standout. It has a free licenses. It adds significant encyclopedic value to the article.

Oppose – Colors look over-saturated. Sky is really noisy. Focus at the back of the bridge is soft. White bridge supports are over-exposed. Might've been a better idea to try QI at Commons first. INeverCry 10:17, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Due to over-saturation. Everything looks dayglo-ish. Sca (talk) 14:16, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - A drone is not going to take photos as good as a conventional camera any time soon, and this isn't an unusual enough perspective to make up for the problems (over-exposed, and it doesn't quite seem straight, maybe because the drone's lens is quite fisheye). An image like this one might be a better choice. It's an unusual view, and it shows the full bridge including the dyke. Smurrayinchester 14:22, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree with your statement, this nomination is a better angle for sure. However the picture quality is not very good so I will also oppose, but I don't think the problem is with the framing. Mattximus (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: 1st time I've looked at your bio. 10 March 1968? You're a full 5 days older than me you old goat! My mom tried to hold on for St. Patty's Day... INeverCry 00:44, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which means we share a birthday, INC. Just... several years difference. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Several years are nothing. I was a big strong lad just yesterday it seems; I'm sure Daniel was too... INeverCry (talk) 22:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Saturation and contrast are too extreme, resulting in noise and loss of detail. Margalob (talk) 14:24, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
