•  Info All by me, -- cart-Talk 20:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- cart-Talk 20:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment -- I would like more width in the image (landscape format) so that the outer rails are in the picture. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 20:43, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

• Having all the rails in the photo would make this a totally different picture. Perhaps I will do one like that some day, but for now I wanted to focus on the strong X-shape of the crossing. --cart-Talk 21:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - I really liked this shot when I saw it at QIC a few days ago. Excellent symmetry, strong shapes, interesting textures. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:55, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Support - good structure (and nearly monochromatic by the rusted rails and the sleepers) --PtrQs (talk) 21:51, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose NO FP quality. Sorry ~ Moheen ^{(keep talking)} 22:15, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I don't know whether I consider the subject not interesting enough per se to be an FP or whether (I think more likely) the lines aren't long enough or something else enough to do it for me, but I'm not feeling this as special enough for FP. Very sorry not to be able to be more specific. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:28, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks for trying to explain Ikan, I think that it is as simple as people are more likely to be attracted to pretty things. Myself, I like the warm, musty color and texture of rust and old wood, that's what spoke to me in this photo. But I also know I'm the odd one out most of the time. ;) --cart-Talk 07:50, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Support X marks the spot, per my QIC promotion of this image. Daniel Case (talk) 00:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Ah well, this doesn't seem to be going anywhere so I might as well close it. Thanks for the comments anyway. :) --cart-Talk 20:27, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
