Image:CTA waiting on the platform.jpg, not featured

•  Info Waiting for an approaching train on the Chicago 'L'. Picture created, uploaded, and nominated by Dschwen
•  Support --Dschwen 03:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral Support very nice composition. I am not sure if the train should be in focus or not...have to think about it. Might change to support. Btw it might also look great in b/w --AngMoKio 11:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The focus plane was a compositional choice, emphasizing the waiting people and leaving the train in a not-yet-there but appearing state. --Dschwen 19:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Simonizer 10:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support /Daniel78 11:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral Due to chromatic aberration(green and pink), especially on the brown parts and the green bag. -- Laitche 13:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Most of the image is blurred, and the stuff that isn't blurred is not stunning or interesting. Sorry. Redrocketboy 08:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lacks wow. My eyes keep going to the train but it's out of focus. Rocket000 15:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support I love the composition. --norro 18:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not interesting and blurred. --Jorgebarrios 19:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose It seems like a departing train, the body language of the people does not speak of arrival. Missing energy. --Tomascastelazo 00:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Lerdsuwa 10:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  Can we trouble you for your reasons? Even if just "as per ...". Ben Aveling 13:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  Somehow the shallow DOF doesn't work for me in this photo. Agree with Rocket000. --Lerdsuwa 07:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nothing special. --Karelj 15:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support for exactly the reasons for which Tomascastelazo and Rocket000 oppose, oddly. The out of focus, seemingly departing train, and the people waiting, waiting... It captures an atmosphere of lethargy. Regards, Ben Aveling 13:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Supporting a picture because it lacks wow... interesting. :) Rocket000 16:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:-) One could create a boring picture of an interesting subject, no? I find this an interesting picture of a boring subject. Regards, Ben Aveling 20:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Question Is the name of the station the picture was taken "Linden"? Because this is the only sign that is sharp. — Manecke 13:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Support A very nice picture. Yes, it is unsharp but that contributes to the sphere that you find it the picture. Photography is a game in which all methods are good to match the photo with the story you want it to tell. Well done Dschwen! --Boxes 17:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral I agree with Ben Aveling about atmosphere and composition, but IMO too much of the picture is out of focus to be acceptable for FP. -- MJJR 21:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Why is it blurred? In my opinion there's no need for this. --TM 10:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
