  •  Comment I think there are too few railway pictures in the FP list, so I'll give it a shot with this evening scenery, captured during my stay in Kosovo. -- Kabelleger (talk) 21:05, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose for its composition. Nothing much to see here; I would've liked to see much more of the train and its surroundings—a shot farther away from the train. I don't like the angle and half the image is only a small portion of the train, the other half being a blurred out building. ZooFari 23:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose good composition, but low F-number makes the mosque way too blurry. --ianaré (talk) 05:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Interesting and unique. --Aktron (talk) 13:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak  Oppose The train is excellent, and the composition is nice visually, it creates an intriguing visual connection between the train and the mosque, but then when you think about it there is no relation in fact, which is confusing and pointless. And the mosque, I don't think it should be sharp, on the contrary: I don't find it blurry enough. -- H005 (talk) 15:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment There is, in fact, a good reason why the mosque is in the picture. The NoHAB AA16 locomotives were built for Norway, Belgium, Denmark and Hungary, none of these are islamic countries. This particular locomotive spent its "regular" life span in Norway. So the fact that this locomotive can be pictured together with a mosque tells us what a huge jurney it had made. About the mosque not being blurry enough: I tend to agree, but my equipment can't do lower F-stops, sorry. --Kabelleger (talk) 19:07, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hmm, I see, there's a point in that, indeed there's even some educational value. Not strong enough to support it, but at least I changed my mind from  Oppose to  Neutral -- H005 (talk) 22:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
