Oppose - I think its a brilliantly striking image but at full res there are two many areas lacking sharpness and detail --Childzy ¤ Talk 16:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You know what? I'm going to support this image; while its quality may be slightly less than what I expect, the ability for reproduction is limited. This exquisitely shows the construction process of an absolutely intriguing structure, with almost no bodies in the view. It also displays the construction process (all the steel laid out in the to-be-field). Additionally, I don't think we have any FPs covering construction and few that center on a building's structural design. The lighting is a bit weird, but I think it also accentuates the structural design with the shadows that are cast. I say yes. wadester 16 00:31, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Technical problems, but not too bad viewed at a reasonable size. Plus not easily repeatable and pretty interesting. Surprising how much they rely on prefabricated parts. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Probably would have better EV in an article specifically about construction. It's tough to say if this picture (and the construction section) will stick in Donbass Arena once it's completed. But for now, this has enough EV and good enough technicals for me.

Comment. I don't have a problem with the detail, but it seems that there are quite a few little stitching faults that might be able to be fixed with good stitching software. Piotr, if you are able to send me the original file that you used to stitch it, I might be able to improve it. Let me know if you're willing.
