- Comment Unless the plumb-line used was wonky, then this picture isn't straight to my eye... Plus no offence, but there's no "wow" to this picture for me... gazhiley 08:48, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Gazhiley: I've straightened it a bit. As for the "wow", if this doesn't have it, nothing I've ever taken does. Honestly, I don't even know what it really means (does it mean it was taken by a professional photographer at a globally famous site?). Looking at your supports on the FPC page gives me no clue as to the meaning. Isn't that second to EV and technical merit, anyway? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 12:02, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- I can't really describe it Jakob... It just seems a little dark to me, the colours aren't very vivid... A nicer weather day would bring out the colours better, but I suppose ultimately I just don't find power stations that interesting... However, now that you have straightened the picture, I will weak support as (other than my own particular opinion of "wow") it ticks all the boxes you have listed... Certainly the quality is there... gazhiley 12:53, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- I've added an alt with a bit more contrast, if anyone like that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:17, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Crisco 1492, definate improvement - colours are much better... I will stick with my vote however(with a preference of ALT), as for me the subject really isn't one that would make me want to read about it, therefore no "wow"... Excellent picture, just unfortunate subject... gazhiley 14:57, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose I don't believe this has the "wow."chsh (talk) 14:46, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Support ALT - I'd prefer a sunny day and more clarity, but c'est la vie. Coupled with the resolution (just over minimum), for something this size, that puts me in "weak" territory. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
