Flying Scotsman

4472 "Flying Scotsman" at Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, UK

I think this ticks all the boxes in terms of quality, resolution etc, but particularly the encyclopedic requirements. It appears in LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman. It is under a free licence and was produced by Michael J. Irlam.

oppose 1: the building in the background is mostly blown out. 2: there seems for more to be visible jpeg artifacts in the red thingi in the front. 3: a couple of lines looks scanlined. _→AzaToth 22:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The white building in the background is distracting. Alvesgaspar 01:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As a train buff, I'm loath to oppose, but as said, the white roof distracts. Furthermore, a steam engine should be shown running, with steam and smoke spewing from the stack! --Janke | Talk 06:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not so crisp, especially cars at the end out of focus. --Bridgecross 14:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. A number of small things plus an image that is a little boring (not that stunning or dynamic).--Andrew c 17:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
