  •  Comment Have you ever been to Japan? It's not really possible to find this train without the "clutter", since the wires above and the signals on the ground are necessary for the train to function. As for the train being parked, my guess is that here it was slowly moving towards a station. It would take a very dedicated and skilled photographer to camp outside a high speed railway track and take the perfect panned shot during the one second that the train zips past at 300 km/h. dllu (t,c) 02:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Then how do you explain this featured picture of a Japanese train that doesn't seem to have those issues? And BTW, overhead lines and signals are hardly issues unique to the Japanese rail system. Daniel Case (talk) 03:12, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not sure how the Sony Alpha 77 can produce such poor quality images. At ISO 400 I would not expect so much noise... probably it was underexposed and then postprocessed with greatly increased saturation levels. This certainly isn't one of the finest works that Wikimedia Commons has to offer, since File:JRE-TEC-E5_omiya.JPG is of a slightly superior quality. dllu (t,c) 02:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
