- Welcome back! But unfortunately this pic's not up to your usual standards, I'm just not feeling it's interesting enough nor technically stellar. Sorry, oppose. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 19:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Support I beg to differ. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Support I agree with JJ Harrison - I like this... gazhiley.co.uk 10:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Not subject matter that would normally interest me, but it certainly draws my eye. J Milburn (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Weak support. Good use of line, though I suppose these kind of images are a bit clichéd... -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- I don't follow - what do you mean? What line and how clichéd? gazhiley.co.uk 10:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- How cliched?? See how every photo of a train on google is taken from this angle? [1] I think that's what he means by cliched. And by line, he's referring to the composition. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough... Was just curious as I tend to accociate cliches with words rather than images... Also wasn't sure if he meant line as in train line as in that this train was a good use of the train line - seemed an odd comments hence my question... Thanks tho... gazhiley.co.uk 09:16, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- That said though looking in our archive there's not one single train picture at this angle, so is it that much of a cliche? Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Vehicles/Land gazhiley.co.uk 09:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm, cliche or convention? Wikipedia:WikiProject_Automobiles/Conventions#Images states that images are preferred to be taken from "the front ¾ view". Yes, that's more specifically about cars, but presumably the same standards would generally be applied to other vehicles? Showing both front and side views together simply gives the best EV. --jjron (talk) 11:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- And it looks nice. J Milburn (talk) 01:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
