 *  Oppose Support It's very annoying that the turbine  ist cropped and not shown completely. Thats unencyclopedic and the quality of the picture is not very high, too. Sorry. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 02:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you know the scale of these things? They are taller than a person and longer than a bus, inside a cramped area. Please enlighten me on your method of capturing the whole turbine with one shot while still being able to discern the blades on the turbine itself. --antilivedT 02:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Longer than a bus? Thinking not. -- ⁪ffroth 07:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Depends on the definition of bus and they, some multi-staged ones are really huge. --antilivedT 05:04, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Support Superlative industrial photograph. Note that even if it were not cropped, it would be impossible to see the far side that's hidden by the shaft. But it's not important. The far side looks like the near side and the blades are identical all around. Symmetric objects don't have to be photographed in full to be encyclopedic. In my opinion, this is quite appropriate for an encyclopedia. Fg2 (talk) 04:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Excellent shot. Neutralitytalk 19:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Support the thing is too big to not be cropped and get a useful photograph of. The lighting is fantastic in my opinion Furmanj (talk) 15:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Support, "wow", informative and good enough technical quality. --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 13:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Support Per above --Abdominator (talk) 23:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I wish the image had better color composition, but its encyclopedic value is off the scale. -- Shark face  217  23:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
