I like this one because of three reasons: 1st the image looks dynamic because the rotor's movement is visible and the helicopter is strongly leaning to the front and to the side (accelerating in a curve). 2nd you see the mountains where Swiss SAR helicopters operate. 3rd I had the chance to take the picture on a viewpoint which is about the same hight than the helicopter so you see plenty of details. --Ikiwaner (talk) 20:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Comment It is wonderful for you to be able to capture the subject. However, the "dynamic" composition makes the picture look unstable, so give uneasy feelings to me (looking like falling down). --Caspian blue00:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Your considerations are perfectly true. The helicopter landed on the moutain top where the image is taken. The destination was a hospital in the flat country. Thus it did not matter that the vehicle lost hight while accelerating. I always have this uneasy feeling when I see those pilots in the alps. In this picture you see him a few seconds before. The co pilot on the left was holding the door open and looking backward so the pilot could turn the machine without touching the wall with his tail rotor! -Ikiwaner (talk) 19:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Support per nom, brilliantly captured image. I remember visiting Mount Pilatus last year, that can NOT have been an easy place to land! the wub"?!"23:45, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
