Oppose A nice journalistic snapshot, but no wow for me sorry. In terms of composition and execution, I feel that it is not as good as existing car accident photos such as File:Japanese car accident.jpg, one of the first FPs about cars. dllu (t,c) 21:45, 17 January 2018 (UTC)- Oppose per Dllu. --Peulle (talk) 22:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Comment Could be good option, but you should go in front and made quarter view from this side, sun is good.--Mile (talk) 12:30, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I don’t think it will matter for this nom, but per Colin's request on another nom, I can at least explain why I took the step to nominate this. Mile’s suggestion with that angle is good but that angle would unfortunately have yielded a very busy background with a railway crossing, an ugly parking lot with cars and an industrial building. This angle gives a clean and calm background and the car's color matches the surroundings, which is pleasant. There is also a nice diagonal line across the photo: lamp – tree branches – hood of the car – shadows in the grass. I also like the juxtaposition of the 'give way' sign and the wreck since that sign is a sort of 'Hey watch out!' sign. Finally, I looked through the 'Damaged automobiles' and 'Crashed vehicles' categories and there is only a handful of photos depicting wrecks in snow, I thought that added a twist to it. So there is a little more thought to this nom than Dllu suggests, but wow is always a gut-feeling. I may not always start every nom with a rationell since it's interesting to see if the photo can stand on its own, but there is always a thought behind why I nominate pics here. --cart-Talk 14:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Alright, I think it's time to pull the plug on this and get something else going. --cart-Talk 11:15, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
