304:. Too tight a crop, and ack Howcheng. Strongly disagree with PPGMD, I can only speculate what Howcheng has in mind but I'd suggest an extreme zoom lens shot from a plane above and behind the glider looking along the cable, maybe showing a bit of the horizon. It'll be difficult but way more instructive and spectacular. --

I'm not really convinced that it shows a winch launch very well. To me, a non-gliding person (although I did pilot a glider once in Hawaii), it just looks like a big cable attached to the glider. I think a good image of a winch launch would show the winch as well.
280:. Doesn't meet minimum size requirements, cropped too tightly. Also I disagree that it's a particularly good depiction of a winch launch. Per Howcheng, that cable hanging down out of the frame doesn't tell us much. Just doesn't seem like FP material. --

The glider isn't vertical and shouldn't appear as such. Using winch launch, the angle should be 40-50° and never over 70°. I vote keep the image, the photo can be assumed to be horizontal and the glider is near the optimum angle.
186:
The picture you are suggesting would be very boring, a winch launch is a very different type of launch, at times the glider is nearly vertical, it's quite a rush during your first launch, which this illustrates quite well.

The winch is approximately 1 kilometre away from the glider so getting that in shot is tricky. Do pictures have to be self-explanatory? It was
Picture of the Day last year so someone else liked it.
196:
When I first saw this image, I didn't realise that the glider was vertical; I thought the photo was just slanted. A better image would show the horizon to get a proper idea of the angle of the craft.
292:
Too small, and unless it was explained to me it looks more like a kite than a winch launch. A FP should make it's subject clear and not lead to confusion.

Sure it's not up to current dimension standards, but it's not too far off. Sharp, well composed image with nothing major to warrant delisting. --

Per above. I saw worst images in FP page and this is just much better. Only the size is a problem.
