Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: 65-foot Class river buoy tender
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Comment This detailed image is difficult to grasp at first sight, IMO, because there are some big distracting elements (the bridge, the river bank). For instance, is the yellow "crane" on the boat or on the shore? I find File:USCGC Thunder Bay.jpg clearer on that score. It depicts an icebreaking tug, but it belongs to the Category:Tugboats of the United States Coast Guard which contains quite a few images of icebreaking tugs (another example). --Myrabella (talk) 07:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC) Scope changed from Tugboats of the United States Coast Guard to 65-foot Class river buoy tender --JMSchneid (talk) 14:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC) Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".  Comment The new scope seems suitable; I just took the liberty of writing it in the singular. The review itself, now: I still find the nominated image rich in details but a bit confusing at the review size. I found further information about this type of boat on USGC site; then I understood that the boat in the nominated image was pushing a barge and that the crane was on this barge. File:UnitedStatesCoastGuardCutterOBION.jpg (by the same author) is clearer, IMO but maybe has the disadvantage to show more the barge than the boat itself. File:USCGC Sangamon WLR-65506.jpg could be an interesting competitor if it was geocoded (a broad geolocation can be added). Other reviewers' opinion welcome! --Myrabella (talk) 09:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)  Oppose On reflection, the main subject isn't clear enough at the review size, in my opinion. --Myrabella (talk) 07:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 1 oppose => declined.
