Oppose looks like a harbor boat tour snapshot. Busy background makes it nearly impossible to say which superstructural parts belong to nthe USS Iowa. --Dschwen 09:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Before I say this, realise that I don't think you could actually have acted on any of them. Photography, in the end, has a strong element of luck. That said, there's no real sense of scale, as there's not enough resolution to make out details on the deck that might give scale, or, say, a smaller ship for comparison; details of ship behind it cause confusion as to what, exactly, is on the Iowa's deck; and, finally, it's just not that exciting of a picture: we have no sense of scale, so awe at the size can't happen, and it's just sitting there, not doing anything especially interesting.

Oppose Quite a bit of JPEG artifacts in the water, on the handrails on the ship. vlad§inger ^tlk 17:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
