Support - The crop is a little tight, but overall good composition and colors. --

Oppose: It is striking but at the cost of EV. The fish-eye distortion is so large that it's difficult to tell what you're even looking at a rocket, much less what the rocket actually looks like. You can see the distortion in the background buildings, they're all leading to the left 20 degrees.--

This is not a fisheye lens; it's an ultrawide (there's no curving of straight lines). Also, such distortion is inevitable with large objects, like rockets.

Distortion is only inevitable if you're taking a picture from this close up. Jujutaculartalk 14:23, 8 April 2011 (UTC)reply
Sorry, oppose, kind of suffers from the same problems as the centipede above - a striking photo, but you can't really tell that you're looking at a rocket from this perspective. Are there other similar photos?

Support Very visually striking, to the point where I want to read more of the article, and conveys the immensity of the rocket well (and I think it's very clear that you are looking at a rocket). Also gives good EV on how it is transported (note the railway tracks). Maybe a smidge underexposed.

Oppose Don't see the need for the exaggerated perspective and very wide lens.
