Oppose Subject not properly portrayed by the choices made in the composition. Abisharan (talk) 00:49, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the subject of the phtograph is the large building or something else NOT the dark blob along the side that noone knows what it is without directly looking for it and being told what it is. This image is has zero EV for an elevated train track. Therefor I'm removing it from Chicago Loop, Chicago 'L' and The Loop (CTA). — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 01:04, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- CommentWithout even looking at your user page, I know you did not walk under the L today like I did and maybe never have. If you don't understand the subject stay out of the discussion. Any further removal after I replace it will be considered vandalism.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:01, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Go ahead, clutter up your Chicago pages with irrelevant pictures for the article. Obviously your right and everyone else is wrong. Sorry if us lesser mortals have an opinion. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 04:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - There are much, much better pictures of the L in Chicago 'L' and The Loop (CTA). Why must we also include one in which the L is only visible along the side of the picture, in the shadows? (I don't have as much of a problem including the picture in Chicago Loop, since that's about the neighborhood, and not just the transportation infrastructure.)

Oppose Pretty picture. But it illustrates “just one of many street views of big, blue monument to Trump’s magnificence”, not Chicago 'L'. Greg L (talk) 03:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's noisy and unsharp. The L is too dark to make out details. The focal point is the Trump building, not the L. Indeed, on the photographer's flickr page it did not occur to Picken to title or tag the image with the L. He actually has a few nicer compositions beneath the L tracks in his gallery, although I'm not convinced a street view has a lot of EV. Fletcher (talk) 04:22, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for pointing out the other images. I have added one to Chicago 'L'.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:18, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This doesn't really do a good job of illustrating the primary subject, as presented in the nomination. I think a perpendicular view of the el (something like this, but not that specific picture) would be more valuable for illustrating the street-level view. You can make out more structural details, and you can actually see a train! Zagalejo^^^ 06:19, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, too cluttered. None of the several subjects are particularly well illustrated by this image. J Milburn (talk) 08:27, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
