Proposed caption
Geno's Steaks, founded in 1966, is a cheesesteak restaurant in Philadelphia. Joe Vento, the restaurant's proprietor, claims that he was the first to add cheese as an ingredient to the sandwich. A rival cheesesteak purveyor, Pat's King of Steaks, is located directly across the street. Many Philadelphians identify themselves as supporters of a particular cheesesteak shop, as distinguished from its rivals.

  • Oppose Nice neon lamps but the quality (noise, sharpness) is not the best --Central Powers 15:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I like the composition, colors and subject matter, but the quality is not up to snuff. Lots of noise, out of focus. --Bridgecross 18:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose/Comment I agree with the other comments. The camera was set to an ISO speed rating of 320, which introduced noise and grain. Try lowering the ISO to it's lowest and shoot off a tripod. This will take care of motion blur and grain. Otherwise it's a decent image. --Cody Pope 19:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
