  •  Support I am not a professional photographer, I use compact cameras, but more than 15 years my hobby to photograph locomotives. The photograph 9Pm locomotive monument located in the factory museum in the city of Nizhny Tagil (Russia). I also do not speak English and I use Google translator, sorry. -- Volovik Vitaly (talk) 14:11, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The light is a bit harsh, and the composition doesn't work for me; there's too much dark area at bottom, a blown building at right, and I can't help wondering what the structure we see looks like further up and to the left. As for the compact cameras, I would suggest upgrading to a decent digital SLR if at all possible. Before digital was big, I used to use a Mamiya RB67 and a Minolta XE7; the difference between the results from those, and the results from the Nikon Coolpix I'm stuck with at the moment leaves no doubt whether an upgrade is worth it . You can get a Nikon D3300 on Amazon.com, with a standard 18-55mm lens, for around 500$ new (I'm saving up for the very same). INeverCry 00:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Думаю здесь больше всего гоби фотографи. Про фото, люблю ж-д фотки, здесь ошибка внизу - тень. --Mile (talk) 08:13, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose – because of the shadow (per Mile), and because I don't like the composition much. Perhaps cropping the bottom would help. I don't really like the dirty brown look either. I don't think it's as good as other featured pictures. ~Mable (chat) 08:34, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I'm by no means against pictures of locomotives at all, and I've happily voted to feature a number of photos of trains and nominated one, but while I respect your initiative in nominating this photo, I won't be supporting a feature in this case. A search for Featured Pictures under Commons Category:Locomotives produces 63 results. Most of the results actually do show locomotives, but most are not shot at close range. However, a fair number are. Looking at those pictures will give you a sense of what the standard is for featuring close-range photos of locomotives on Commons. In most cases, there is some kind of scenery, or there are clouds or people that help the composition. However this is an example of a picture of the train without beautiful scenery, sky or visible people, though it's not a closeup of a locomotive. Here's another example that might be more relevant to you, perhaps. Or there's this one, though note the scenery. All of this is to say that I don't think your composition in this photo is as harmonious as the Featured Pictures in Category:Locomotives are, but see if looking through those pictures could inspire you to take a photo that is, or if you already have another photo that could meet with more approval on this page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:36, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you think such a picture can be chosen https://yadi.sk/i/iJqABNlqqngZ6 (this is highly compressed copy of the original)? Or any locomotive from this list (I have over 100, but no download)? --Volovik Vitaly (talk) 16:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I like the locomotive in your first link, though I'm not sure about the crop on the left side, and some people would want you to crop closer on the bottom, too. From the list of files, the picture I like best is this one, but though I like its composition, the light is a little glary and parts of the photo aren't so sharp, so I don't think it would be approved for a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:18, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak oppose Per INC. To address my remarks to the original nominator: В правде, мне нравится лоҝомотив в єтом промышленным настройки. И цветы сильны. Но, таҝ INeverCry, Я обеспокоен темным пятном в нижней части. Я думаю, что вы получите лучшие результаты с лучшей камерой, как это было предложено. Daniel Case (talk) 19:41, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
