 * Oppose because for the life of me I can't tell what I'm looking at-- is this an aperture in the furnace? How big is it?  Pretty, but not encyclopedic.  Spikebrennan (talk) 15:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Furnaces need oxygen. The photographer is above the opening and slightly to one side, shooting down at the coke.  Durova Charge! 19:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above, and everything is slightly out of focus at full res. Clegs (talk) 17:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I would have to oppose as well, while the photo of the coke itself is quite good, it is slightly out of focus and lacks a sharpness that I feel FPCs need. Plus the surrounding area does detract from the overall picture I feel. SGGH speak! 12:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Getting a good picture of this subject is nearly impossible, and i think that any lack of sharpness is made up for with the composition. Teque5 (talk) 07:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
