Support -- Glorious image of the dam. Better than any others I've seen. Two oddities though... why are all the roof tiles slanted? Instead of being parallel with the eaves, they all slant downwards making the roof lines seem out of whack. I see that in other pictures of the dam as well. Is that a German thing? Also, the gray roof structure just left of center. There is a bold black line between the roof and the dam on top & left side of the roof. It seems odd, and the only thing I can think of is that the slates/tiles are overhanging by a few inches? To be clear, these questions don't detract from my judgement of the photo... just idle curiosity about what's in the photo. JBarta (talk) 01:05, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support: I'm not crazy about the guardrail, which takes up a good portion of the picture. Not enough for me to oppose, but it does cut back on the aesthetics a bit. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Very nice image; great quality, composition and aesthetics. The captions for a couple of the articles could probably use a few more words but that's my only (minor) gripe. Nik thestoned 09:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support The particular crop feels a little awkward though, More space to the right and a little less to the left would have been good I think. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:18, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Very informative photo with good quality. Perfect for an encyclopedia.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 06:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Meets all the requirements and criteria, and plus it looks really good. High quality shows the engineering of the dam structure. It's like you're actually there when you view it. BlowingTopHat (talk) 01:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
