Comment - It's a fine photo, but I haven't decided how I feel about the harsh sunlight and relatively straightforward composition. In the meantime... there's a dust spot in the sky about one-third of the way inward from the left. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ - This is a nice picture, but I feel like the foreground is too blurry, especially above the bridge itself. Maybe blurry is the wrong word, but it just doesn't seem feature worthy to me. Goveganplease (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no foreground above the bridge.©Geni (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Well, there's a gradual curve or arch to the bridge deck, but I don't know how unusual that might be. For a modern box girder bridge it seems reasonably nice-looking, but the overall composition is rather plain and static. I'm skeptical about EV and visual interest for Main Page readers.

Support. This is a good photo because it is clear and demonstrates the uniqueness of the architecture. Bmbaker88 (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. While it's well above size requirements, the sharpness of the image doesn't seem to be exceptional; and I don't think it depicts one of the most notable things about this bridge - its horizontal curve, which is shown much better from above, as in File:Kylesku_Bridge_-_geograph.org.uk_-_53877.jpg, or either of the photos on this external page. It's a perfectly fine photo, but our standards for landscapes are justifiably very high, as they are the most reproducible type of photo. TSP (talk) 13:01, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per TSP. There's nothing at all wrong with this photo, which is well executed and useful, but I agree that the geograph.org photo indicates that it wasn't taken from a position which best shows its features - which are mentioned in the article which notes that it was designed to blend in with the landscape.
