Oppose. No "wow" factor, not especially "pleasing to the eye" either. --

Weak Support I don't see what you could use it for but it is an excellent picture none the less. --¿Why1991ESP. |

Oppose Agree with Janke. Also, the man in first plan is unfocused.

Oppose It does not illustrate its content in-depth and it wouldn't influence a user to read the rest of the article. This picture could just as well be troops competing in a summer biathlon. It could also be an action movie. This picture could be many things snd one can find similar-looking pictures on any search engine. I agree that it is is of high quality. This simply isn't enough however, as there are many other
criterions.

Oppose, looks like a typical firing-line shot.
Image:Casing.jpg has something special that this doesn't.

Weak Support. This is good, but is that the bullet coming out of the rifle, on the right side? Maybe it would be better if that was taken out if its a casing or explained that its a bullet.

It can't be the bullet, the speed is to high. With a typical initial speed of 500 m/s, the bullet displacement during 1/500s (the time the objective was open in the present case) will be 1 meter! So, the object must be the empty shell.

For the M16, it's more like 800-900 m/s. The thing doesn't even look like a bullet either.

Oppose Yeah, looks like a casing. Unfortunate composition! As NightGyr said, there are better images and this one doesn't have a wow factor. --
