- Oppose I don't think the picture of the Queen Mary is the best to illustrate the City of Long Beach or a hotel and they're the only articles it appears in. It's not even in RMS Queen Mary which is very telling. File:RMS Queen Mary Long Beach January 2011 view.jpg is better at illustrating the subject. This picture has too much water and the ship takes up about 10% of the image, it is pretty blurry, the ship is too far away to make out any detail, and you can't get any idea of the size of it.

- Oppose. The trees and the reflections make for a rather nice picture, but there's no real EV here. J Milburn (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose: per J Milburn, trees in front of the subject, which is quite small in the picture to begin with, compromise the EV. -- gtdp (T)/(C) 15:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose Tbh unless it had been mentioned, I wouldn't have noticed the ship in this picture... It's such a small part of it, only the funnels stand out... The cars in front spoil the picture for me too... gazhiley.co.uk 08:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
