Support Very detailed and large. --///EuroCarGT 03:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I like the image and the detail but the lighting is very flat/low contrast. Feels washed out - Peripitus (Talk) 12:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support ok with me Godhulii 1985 (talk) 20:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While there is often construction ongoing on buildings like this, maybe it would be better (and more encyclopedic) to take this picture when the main facade isn't covered (even though this has a facsimile front to avoid being a truly horrendous eyesore)?24.222.132.240 (talk) 20:27, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Peripitus. My feelings exactly.--Mark Miller (talk) 04:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support as the EV compensates for the lack of visual wow. The image provides very nice overview of the rail tracks cutting through the city. While sunny images look nicer, this is a fairly typical weather for Frankfurt (only 1,662 sunshine hours per year, compared to 2,524 in Barcelona). --ELEKHH^T 05:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Agree with Mark Miller regarding the faux "building" printed onto scaffolding covers. It's quite deceiving, particularly as this image isn't particularly detailed. Also, it bothers me that there's no sky. It would be simple to re-take this image with a horizon. Julia\^talk 05:29, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a fair argument regarding the facade, but the main EV of the image is not the facade at all, but the whole railway station and incoming tracks, as they cut through the city. --ELEKHH^T 12:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose — There's nothing obviously wrong with this pic and it does show the layout of station & tracks in the cityscape, but all along I've had the feeling that it's not really accessible to the viewer. Maybe trying to show too much, or, per User:Peripitus poor lighting (and angle), haze? Sca (talk) 15:20, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
