Yeah, not much going on here. Quite a lot of concrete. No people. Perhaps a little EV re the jumbo-size gas stations they evidently build over there? Sca (talk) 14:34, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Except for the pumps, sorta reminds me of a '60s or '70s U.S. Volkswagen dealership. Sca (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not seeing much in the way of EV, due to Filling station already being fairly well stocked in that area... Some EV in Royal Dutch Shell though. Good quality image (they don't put the price per gallon on the sign by the road? Interesting.) Dusty777 18:33, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Not a lot of EV and I don't think the photograph is among the best work on Wikipedia. It's a decent photograph, but the lighting and composition are pretty lackluster. The cropping on the left side feels a little tight and the sky looks a bit dark on the left side as well. I think there's room for improvement, especially for such a common subject.

  • Weak Oppose Per Kaldari - I am inclined to agree... It's technically fine, but I don't get any sort of 'wow' about this - probably more due to the subject rather than the level of photography... I do agree taking this again on a nicer day would make it sparkle a bit more... Plus agree that the crop is tight, especially compared to the other side of the picture where there is quite a lot of space between the edge of the sign and the edge of the picture... gazhiley 11:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
