Ooty railway station edit

Ooty railway station at Nilgiris, India. An excited crowd receives the Nilgiri Mountain Railway. A view from the driver's cabin.

Thought this captures the essense of this railway station.

Oppose. Sky is blown out, people are blurred, and I find the composition a bit confusing. Exotic subject and a nice contribution, but I don't see this as a featured picture. --Dschwen 08:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with Dschwen. Mikeo 11:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose good idea but I want a different picture! This isn't very busy — in fact if the people only looked a bit colder it could be any weekday morning at my local railway station here in England. I have fond memories of travelling in India last year by rail, and I'd support a (better quality) picture of Delhi station, for example, showing a platform heaving with businessmen, shoe shiners, goats, beggars, and everything else that can make Indian travel so interesting and exhilarating. Ok not every Indian station is like that but we can't feature them all either so I think we should be a bit picky ~ Veledan • Talk 13:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great image! Shows a town in medio res.--216.7.248.254 18:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Although it is somewhat illustrative of a stop on the railway, the quality of the image is not very good. ~MDD 46 96 22:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Picture is leaning - Adrian Pingstone 22:15, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. In addition to the above comments, I think this would be better not taken from the driver's cab. The big black headlight, if that's what it is, dominates the picture for me; and the red flag, hand, and yellow handle are also intrusive to a lesser extent.
