Mercedes SLR C199

 * Ok, this might look like WP:POINT, but seriously that edit1 is totally unbalanced. Weak support edit2, Oppose all edit1 . --Dschwen 02:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * "...totally unbalanced"; can you elaborate? I don't get what you mean. --jjron (talk) 03:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * sure, I thought the change in my edit was evident. Edit1 shows too much street, the car is too far up in the frame with its wheels being centered horizontally. I shifted the crop upwards. --Dschwen 04:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK. The road does detract quite a bit. I thought perhaps you were referring to the smaller tilt correction in yours. --jjron (talk) 04:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ..."with its wheels being centered horizontally" - you are quite incorrect Dschwen. I had only used my eye for this crop, and so it is quite vindicating to see I nailed it pretty well dead centre --Fir0002 05:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I actually meant vertical and them being centered is a bad thing. To me the optical center of the car is a bit further up. --Dschwen 12:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose all. Agree with general sentiments in the nomination, but the awkward, unappealing background does it in for me. Additionally, for best encyclopaedic value, a car photo should be done at an angle so that you can see (preferably) the front and one side, not just be directly side-on. I personally think there's better photos for encyclopaedic value, not just possible, but currently in the article. --jjron (talk) 03:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose all. Might have required some skill to take, but ultimately it's just a car photo. A nice photo certainly, just not exceptional in any way. Gatoclass (talk) 08:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose lacks wow, messy bg. --Janke | Talk 08:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Better than the other one, but not good enough. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 21:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
