- Support - I love this stormscape at full size. I'm unsure if this is the best category, though, or if I've formatted it optimally. Should it be categorized under weather phenomena, train transportation or as a (primarily) natural landscape? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:54, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:50, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support.--Vulphere 04:49, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support It also works without the sun.--Ermell (talk) 06:45, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support I think it could do with a tiny bit more contrast to make it really 'pop', but yes, this is a solid FP candidate from Poco. Cmao20 (talk) 07:02, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 07:07, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support Ah, yes, it wasn't really fun waiting for the train with that weather :) thank you for the nom, Ikan! Poco2 07:32, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I'm glad it was you out there taking that picture, not me. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:32, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose Right hand side is cropped arbitrarily for both mountain and train. The rain is visible and appealing at 100% magnification, but at screen size (even a v. high resolution screen) just looks grey and noisy. It is hard to capture rain that looks good and I don't think this works. As a Scot, I wouldn't classify this as a "stormscape" at all. Heavy rain with low-clouds in the mountains is very normal and there's no evidence in the trees of high wind. -- Colin (talk) 16:21, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - To a New Yorker, that's definitely a storm. Thanks for your clear critique; understood. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:32, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support --Boothsift 05:34, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but for me, the weather conditions ruin the view of the train. I just don't feel like it fits with this shot.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Peulle (talk • contribs) 7:13, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - I think this is a photo of an Alaskan landscape in a rainstorm with a train, not just a photo of a train, but please sign your post. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle --Milseburg (talk) 07:56, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support--Claus 16:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others, feels very routine, no wow. Daniel Case (talk) 14:48, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Weak support per ikan. feels different from most similar scenes I've seen at FPC. (and just "weak" because there are some valid criticisms above from colin et al.) — Rhododendrites talk | 04:09, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle --Fischer.H (talk) 10:10, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
