•  Comment The ugly drawbridge dominates. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support, although I think it could be cropped in a bit on the sides to make it more about the train going over the bridge (See note). Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment Thank you for the nomination! I want to add a few words here. First: The location was very deliberately chosen to show the bridge as well as possible. The situation around it is very cluttered as you can see here, and I had to hide one of the road bridges behind the railway bridge to get a view (almost) without distracting elements. So you shouldn't think of this photo as a photo of a train, but as a photo of a bridge which happens to have a train going through. Second, I really don't want to cut off the train as that looks kind of unnecessary to me, also that would put the bridge very close to the edge. Third, I think the bridge's designers deserve some credit for creating something that is very minimalistic yet entirely functional, and I quite like the look of it. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:31, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose per Charlesjsharp. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support as is per Kabelleger. I like the bridge. In a way, it's very utilitarian, but the clear lines of those giant rectangles give them a certain something that reminds me of modern sculptures and en:Brutalist architecture. --El Grafo (talk) 07:57, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

  I would describe the bridge as Brutalist ... I haven't seen too many bridges in that style. Daniel Case (talk) 23:22, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it's quite remarkable, I'd say. Should certainly be added to Commons:Featured_pictures/Places/Architecture/Bridges#Finland too! --El Grafo (talk) 07:39, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support I'm not sure how I feel about the refinery at the right. It clutters the image, therefore I agree with the suggested image crop. 50.246.52.1 23:16, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
