@GRDN711: This time you are indeed very generous. But does it make no difference whether a car is shown moving or perhaps in a repair shop, perhaps in front of a historic building, from the front, from the side or from behind? -- Spurzem (talk) 08:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Spurzem: I am just another participant in these Valued Image ratings (not the judge) but as you asked, COM:VIS clearly states that “Note that scope is not a simple description of your image. Rather, it defines a generic field or category within which your image is the most valuable example.”
Writing the “just right” scope is a challenge and there is more than one way to do it depending on the subject (It is a good idea to listen and consider the comments of others on the scope).
With an automotive subject, the model, and possibly year, are necessary to define the vehicle. If the vehicle looks different from the left or right side, you could make that case as well. Everything else is likely descriptive and should not be included in the scope.
What is valuable information to you as the photographer, is not necessarily important to define the "generic field or category" that is a "just right" scope for a Commons Valued Image.
"In motion" and possibly the view is just extra information that is not needed here. You could state that your image is the most valuable example of a "BMW 700 Cabriolet" or "BMW 700 Cabriolet (1961 - 1964)". IMHO, that would be sufficient as a VI scope for this image. --GRDN711 (talk) 07:00, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
