•  Support –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:58, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special. Looks very ordinary --Muhammad (talk) 12:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
  •  Neutral per Daniel's comment's below --Muhammad (talk) 14:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Question Shouldn't it be geolocated? The coodinates appear to be +24° 33' 18.61", -81° 48' 14.11" (or reasonably close).--74.59.181.116 13:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

* Oppose Agree with Muhammad. Sorry.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)--Mbz1 (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Info Despite appearences this is actually a unique sign. US1 is a famous road on the US east coast, and its begin/end point in KW is well known. They sometimes station police close to the sign at night to prevent people from stealing it. --ianaré (talk) 17:04, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support If this is the case. Thank you for explaining this to me,Ianare. Dschwen, maybe this information that Ianare provided should be added to the image description? --Mbz1 (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support As a landmark... and an observation... if it is mile 0, is it not the beginning? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

• It is indeed the beginning; the end of the highway within the state of Florida is at mile 541. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:33, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose I just don't see the interest in this. It's a road sign? "Famous" is relative. Maedin\^talk 21:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Muhammad and Mbz1. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 22:35, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special. —kallerna™ 17:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Disagree with all opposers. This is not an ordinary subject. —Notyourbroom (talk) 19:49, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special. --Karel (talk) 09:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Pudelek (talk) 15:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose While being a well known "attraction" in Key West, I think it's still an un-interesting subject. Kudos for the composition however, it's well done. --S23678 (talk) 05:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I originally thought the picture was about the fire hydrant; the eye is drawn to the colour more so than the sign, which is ostensibly the point of the image. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 12:33, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
  • If I had wanted to make a picture of just the sign I would have chosen a different crop, likewise for a picture about a hydrant. The composition i chose creates context for the sign by showing a typical architecture detail of Key West and a typical brightly colored piece of street furniture. --Dschwen (talk) 15:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Finally decided to support this one. IMHO other lighting conditions could have given a more special touch to that picture, and the colour-range is a bit unvaried. Nevertheless it is an eye-catcher and I like the composition. --Rectilinium (talk) 15:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
• The nothing special votes, despite the explanation provided by ianaré are rather unconstructive/(uninformed?). The sign is the number one symbol found on Key West tourist souvenir tinker ware. It is associated with the town. This is not some cow village, but a well known travel destination. nothing special simply is not true. --Dschwen (talk) 15:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Great composition --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 06:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Lošmi (talk) 17:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nothing special. -- Miusia (talk) 13:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
