F/A-22 Raptor

300% zoom on the left tail fin. Note JPEG compression artifacts along edge.

I was reading the Fixed-wing aircraft article and was looking at the pictures; when I saw this one, I was stunned. It says it was taken by someone in the US Air Force, employee or airman. In my opinion, nothing detracts from this picture, nothing is wrong with it, but that's just my opinion; what is yours'?

Weak oppose There are heavy jpeg artifacts on it. This causes a lack of sharpness. HighInBC 14:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Moderate artifacting. Look on the edges of the clouds and the flat area of the tail. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 16:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Oppose per above. Added zoomed-in view of left tail fin to show what we're talking about. Severnjc 17:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all above, especially jpg artifacts in blue sky, and lack of crisp detail on the aircraft. --Bridgecross 18:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not as sharp as it could be, artifacts, and blown highlights in the clouds. --Tewy 21:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There are so many good jet pictures out there, and this one is too small and has too many artifacts to be featured. NauticaShad e s 10:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - not sharp; bad picture in general. --Ineffable3000 20:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
