- Support. Huge "wow" factor. The EV is not the best, but does help illustrate a good-sized section on the launch. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 11:55, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- Note: current FPs include File:STS120LaunchHiRes-edit1.jpg, File:Space Shuttle Atlantis launches from KSC on STS-132 side view.jpg, File:Space Shuttle Atlantis launches from KSC on STS-132.jpg, and File:Space Shuttle Columbia launching.jpg (two of those were promoted at the same nomination, and there was discussion then of whether that was appropriate). Time for a delist? Chick Bowen 13:52, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- Neutral Can I be undecided at the moment? I like this angle and how it shows the foundation beneath the launchpad. I chose two of the images listed by Chick (coincidentally the two that were nom'd simultaneously) as possible replacements: one, because the angle was similar, and two, because it shows the foundation beneath. File:Space_Shuttle_Atlantis_launches_from_KSC_on_STS-132.jpg shows the foundation and is a clear shot of it, but the quality seems kind of low and it's a bit underexposed. But I find this current image to also be of low quality, so I'm assuming this is the fault of NASA's cameras, or maybe they're under a protective covering? But if I were to vote for a delist, it'd be the STS-132 image I linked to. But I prefer its angle of the foundation. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 21:41, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support. Provides a low angle, close-up shot of launch unlike traditional photographs of shuttle takeoffs. Aesthetically pleasing, well-exposed, adequate resolution; good use of composition to show scale of subject. Memtgs (talk | contribs) @ 03:12, 12-03-2013 UTC 03:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Weak oppose Good image, but it has very poor usage; it's buried way down a very illustrated article. If it was used in more articles, or more prominently in the one it's in, I'd probably support. File:Endeavour payload bay.jpg might be a better choice, as it's much more prominent in the article, and naturally fits into the articles about any of the payloads which can be seen in the image.
