Very professional image, great colors and focus, lovely clouds as well. Shot by fellow wikipedian Matt Crypto and featured in Canal lock.

 * Support. Nice colors, good shot -- Chris 73 Talk 22:46, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Nice picture, but doesn't do a good job of illustrating the canal lock article. All the interesting stuff (the canal, the sluices, the gates, the water in the lock chamber) is out of sight. Image:Canal-sequence.jpg is much better. Gdr 22:56, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)
 * Support, but it'd be nice to have the location noted on the description page, too. -- DrBob 22:54, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Oppose. This photo makes no sense to a viewer without the information in the article. Moreover, it does not provide the photographic essence of what a canal lock is. It's a fine technical shot, but put up your hand if you say "Wow!" Denni &#9775; 02:18, 2004 Oct 20 (UTC)
 * Oppose, but I do like it. I agree with the idea that possibly, it's just not the right angle. --ScottyBoy900Q &#8734;  04:21, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose, although I'm really chuffed with the positive comments people have made about this photo! I've had a browse through the current Featured Pictures and I'm not convinced that this image is quite in the same league, either aesthetically or illustratively. (See for some funkier photos of the same part of the world).  &mdash; Matt 15:12, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
