Oppose. Much too dark. J Milburn (talk) 22:58, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Even if properly lit it's still not a striking image; too cluttered for one thing. Daniel Case (talk) 01:31, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I can't say I agree about the clutter - there's nothing uneccessary in the picture and therefore it's a good representation of reality, however I also must agree it's too dark... gazhiley 09:35, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem :) it's dark, but this is what this place actually looks like! Azylber (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- All day? I could understand a dark-ish photo used to illustrate how dark northern Alaska is in the middle of the winter, but here we're trying to just provide a picture of the airport to the reader to get a good understanding of what the place looks like. Being dark doesn't really help the reader in that regard. Jujutacular (talk) 16:07, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
