V-22 Osprey

Original - The V-22 Osprey in flight over New Mexico.

Reason: Good quality (in line with other FPs of this category) image showing the aircraft in flight. Dramatic backdrop and good propellor blur. We already have a |FP of the Osprey, landed and in the helicopter position. This complements that nicely and has distinct EV.

Support This will compliment the other you mentioned in my growing rotation of backgrounds! I love the other one, but in many ways this one is much cooler! Nicely done... gazhiley.co.uk 22:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the background is very distracting and in full resultion as sharp as resp. more sharp than the aircraft. The crop at the left and right is too tight. The image is heavily oversharpened and small for a 10 MP camera. --kaʁstn 10:14, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A question of principle: if taken with a worse quality camera, would you think that the image quality was acceptable? Cowtowner (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the same reasons as Carschten. Also, the article is about the aircraft; the background should not be competing for our attention. This picture comes nowhere near the standard of the picture of the landed craft. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 21:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support' - I do think that the background is a tiny bit distracting, yet the background seems to compliment it in some ways too. Nice job. --Another Type of Zombie ^talk 14:29, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There's something strange going on to the left of the propellers. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:18, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's distortion from the heat coming out of the engines. Cowtowner (talk) 02:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks. That's what I figured. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:52, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
