•  Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 13:45, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support One of the most important symbolic tools for the future of Europe, and maybe for the world during the days to come: an electronic polling machine at the seat of a Member of the Hellenic Parliament in Athens, Greece. Of course this picture is unique, and was very difficult to take. The words on the screen mean: "Assembly of the Hellenes", with the symbol of the Parliament. I was very lucky to be able to take this picture, and of course, this is to be shared in "Commons" !!-- Jebulon (talk) 13:45, 28 June 2015 (UTC)Funny (or not...), notice the german brand name...)
  • The German brand name on the polling machine is a constant reminder to the Greeks who their true overlords are, I suppose. ;-) Diliff (talk) 08:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support The screen is dirty and I added some recomendation (notes), however, this work is wow for me --The Photographer (talk) 14:05, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
  •  Comment Thanks for review and support. The screen is not really dirty (not very clean neither...), but there are just some little "holes" on the glass.--Jebulon (talk) 16:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Focus is a little bit small at the bottom of the picture, but wow for me too. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 14:09, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose It certainly has high educational value but the corners are blurry and there's blue CA all around. The bottom should be cropped. Not one of the best pictures here on Commons, I'm afraid. --Code (talk) 16:49, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for review and comment. Yes, this is the best we have on "Commons", because there is no other ! Please take the same in the Bundestag or in the House of Representatives ! Yes I agree it is not technically excellent, but I claim for mitigating circumstances... About the frieze: no, I won't crop it out, this kind of motive is named Greek key ! It seems accurate, isn't it ? --Jebulon (talk) 22:35, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hm. Some years ago I worked in the Bundestag but I can't remember that they had polling machines and I believe they still don't have. In the TV news we see the members of parliament only use ballot boxes. Concerning the picture I think it should be VI but not QI or FP. For me, FP is always something like a QI with either a great WOW or a great educational value. Your picture has the latter, but it doesn't meet the quality standards. And the educational value / WOW-effect is not that great that I would accept mitigating circumstances. Just to explain my vote. I hope you understand. --Code (talk) 18:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes I do, thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 09:39, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

 Comment  Done CA corrected, thanks. --Jebulon (talk) 16:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Content and the story might be interesting, but solely reduced to the photographic quality I see nothing special here. --Tuxyso (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
  • For "solely reduced to the photographic quality", please go to Quality Images Candidates page.--Jebulon (talk) 19:50, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
    • Go to the Valued Images page :) The "photograpic quality" is not equivalent with quality image but also includes mood, light, compositon, eye-catching effect. For me (it might be seen differently by others) nothing else but the photographic aspects (better term) matter for FP, not the historical relevance. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:35, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Fine with me. Old discussion about what is/should/could/would be a FP. Not my opinion, but I can understand yours. Thanks for sharing yours.--Jebulon (talk) 08:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others --Tremonist (talk) 14:38, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment New version uploaded.--Jebulon (talk) 16:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
