• Support Like the EV(multiple articles). IANAP but wonder if some cropping games might make it more stunning. TCO (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support great picture - FF23-fr (talk) 21:39, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
• Comment Regarding the EV, I hate to be a contrarian, but the locomotive is rather small. The image is large. Would a crop, perhaps, improve EV? Spikebrennan (talk) 20:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • I think a crop would spoil the composition. At the moment, the locomotive has good lead room, and the blue sky at top gives context/scale. Cropping would also reduce some of the EV—the picture is in use in Nordland Line, so the scenery is an important element, too. Maedin\^talk 21:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
