Old tram interior

File:Tram interior.JPG

The interior of a tram, photographed in Vienna, Austria in the summer of 2002. The car shown here is one of the oldest currently in use on Vienna's tracks.

I came accross this image on the Tram article and really liked it. The lighting, wood and stillness of it give it a gentle by-gone era feel about it. The young girl in the picture adds life to it, its more than a stale musuem image.

• It is a really nice image, the composition is nice and I agree about the lighting and wood. However, I think it's cropped too much on the sides and I think it would've been nicer if the photographer tried to center himself in the tram a little more. Also, this image is a really low resolution! On the other hand, it is the only image on the Tram page that shows a tram's interior... --mdd4696 01:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  • There are other images of tram interiors on commons (e.g. Commons:Image:NET tram interior - 205 "Lord Byron".jpg and Commons:Image:Tramlink interior 20051024.jpg) but neither as good as this one imo, and the tram article has enough pictures already. Thryduulf 12:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose Too bright. Maybe an edited version would be better. sikander 05:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

• Are people not looking at previously featured puctures before they nominate? Really, you should know immediately that something like this has no hope before you even think to put it here if you just look at already featured images for a little guidance. --Deglr6328 17:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• I appreciate Thryduulf's efforts, but as the photographer and uploader of this image I ask you to stop discussing it. When I uploaded it more than three years ago there was no such thing as a "featured picture", and I have never intended this image to be a candidate. Back in 2002, images had to be reduced in size if they were to fit into a Wikipedia article as there was no way to magnify them by clicking on them. I could come up with a high resolution version, but I'm not going to after reading about all its other shortcomings ("cropped too much on the sides", "too bright", etc.). <KF> 15:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• I really like this image - the lighting gives it the feeling of a Norman Rockwell painting. My only issue is that the picture is a bit unbalanced, and it looks like the left side of the picture has been cropped short. Denni ☯ 02:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• I just noticed why...the bus has a 1-2 configuration...so that means that the aisle will not be straight down the middle. So, unless the photographer stands in the middle of seats, you aren't going to get a more centered shot. I support. --vaeiou 02:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral until a higher resolution copy is available. I have spoken to KF and they may be able to find a better copy of the original. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 20:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
