Oppose While I'd normally go for these abandoned places, I don't find this photo good enough for FP. The November light is right for such a gloomy place, but the angle (with the building sticking up over the roof), crop (too much asphalt) and such are not right. Taking a pic of such a place you need to prowl around, go hi and lo, wait around for different light, experiment and then see what did work when you get home exhausted from your acrobatics. Finntorp sure has changed since I last visited it... w.carter-Talk 07:51, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Provisional Oppose - I like this composition, but some of the whites are blown out at present. Some of the trees are unsharp, too, but I'm willing to tolerate that as part of the whole. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:03, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like both concept and execution. Technical issues are minimal imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like the composition but I don’t approve of lighting nor quality. The bright yellow background makes the foreground even darker and bluer than it naturally is. Then, there’s a zig-zag line around the roof which certainly isn’t real. Image looks oversharpened, with sharpened noise speckles in the darker parts (e.g. the roof posts). There surely is a special atmosphere about this picture, and it will work perfectly on an album cover but does less so on our pool of encyclopedic media. --Kreuz schnabel 14:35, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While I like the idea of photographing vacant or repurposed former gas stations myself (there are probably going to be even less of them over the course of this century, even without assuming a mass switchover to electric or hybrid cars, since mileage is going up and the number of drivers is either holding flat or going down, adding up to less need for gas stations altogether, and as a result I've been taking pictures of former gas stations near me), this picture is not FP for me. Per Kreuzschnabel, but contra some of the other oppose !votes, I am fine with the composition ... but not the light. It should IMO be either all in sun or all in shade (better still, if that is desired, on a cloudy day). Daniel Case (talk) 02:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per others. INeverCry 05:05, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
