Info All by -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Support This is a 120" High Density Polyethylene pipe installation in Mexico City. Plastic pipe installations of this diameter are rare due to the fact that plastic pipes are a relatively new technological innovation. The pipe will transport 10 cubic meters per second of sewage. -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Oppose - Perspective is a problem: The things that are leaning this way and that are making me reel a little. Also, the cut-off crane really demands my attention and becomes for me the main subject of the picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:25, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Comment It is an aerial shot, thus perspective is inverted from "normal" view. More important however, is what the photograph shows, a 120 inch plastic pipe installation... Not many around. More than aesthetic issues, the important thing is the rare infrastructure event. The way to see this picture is from the engineer perspective, it has a lot of visual information, which to me is the point. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:34, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - That could make it a useful VI, but for it to be an FP, it has to have "wow", or something analogous to "wow". Even if I accept the strange perspective, the cut-off crane kills it - that's the first thing I noticed about the picture, even in thumbnail view. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:46, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Ikan Kekek, well, the Wow factor is culturally dependent, Wow for you could not be a Wow for me in any given particular picture based on experience, origin, field of study, etc. To me, even though I took the picture, the picture has a lot of Wow because at least where I am from, this type of civil engineering is not common place. The material is a technological innovation in this application, and to see this moment in its installation is interesting. Pipe is never seen because it is buried, but there is a lot of engineering work behind it. This picture has a lot of technical information, if you know what to look for. BTY, that´s me in the yellow hat. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:07, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Very cool that you're there in the yellow hat! But please understand, I'm not saying that the subject is not featurable. My objections have to do with the composition. The pipes are definitely impressive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Ikan Kekek I cropped the sky to minimize the visual aspect of the crane. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- The photo seems improved but still doesn't really work for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:47, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose No doubt a valuable photo, but it lacks that little extra. The cut crane also spoils it. If the photo had been taken from a point above the CAT digger (you say it was aerial), it would have resulted in a nice perspective of the pipes. There might even have been some time during the day when the crane was not in extended upright position and that would have also been better. --cart-Talk 19:06, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The cut off crane is a no-go for me – Lucas 20:36, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose And even without the cut crane I still find this whole thing too chaotic and cluttered for FP. Daniel Case (talk) 07:31, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
