curvature of the earth / Erdkrüummung
  •  Info created/uploaded/nominated by Michael Kramer (talk) 09:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC) by photografic by plane course, highlightig the curvature of the earth by using a fisheye, focused on the plane in the middle from another plane on 15 meters distance[reply]
  •  Support -- Michael Kramer (talk) 09:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Fisheyes can be used for very interesting effects, but unfortunately I think here it has just made for a cluttered composition. Sorry. --King of 09:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per KOH, and overblown sky. --A.Savin 12:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose While I am generally a big fan of air-to-air photographs of aircraft and highly appreciate the efforts at de.wp to create aerial photographs in a more or less systematic manner, I don't think this very one is exceptional enough to be "featured": blown sky, horizon disappearing in the haze/mist/fog, dull colors due to all the water in the air (partly retouchable), Nothern Germany looks not very appealing at this time of the year – so all in all it's mostly the weather's fault :-) Also: Is this really the curvature of the earth we are seeing there? Isnt't it merely the usual way straight lines look like when they are at the edge of a photograph taken with a fisheye? --El Grafo (talk) 12:31, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Fisheye curvature is ok imo, but the other problems are too many. --Julian H. (talk/files) 19:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
