- Support I'm not a fan of trains, but you really find a way to make them interesting through great compositions, as this one. --ELEKHHT 12:45, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

- Oppose centered composition, lots of blown snow (e.g. [1] has a better exposure, [2] a better composition). Not one of our best (train) photographs. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 14:56, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment I don't agree with the blown snow; there are few pixels that have one or more of the color channels at 255, and most of those are not in the snow. Therefore, at least technically, the picture should be fine (of course, you may still dislike the way it looks on your monitor). --Kabelleger (talk) 15:58, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Snow is white, on a sunny day it's going to look blown as a given, unless you intentionally underexpose the picture or use some trick, but then you might get gray snow blegh. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 19:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Weak opposeI don't mind the blown snow, but I don't think this is the best way for an encyclopedia, to depict a train, in all that mist from the snow. --Paolo Costa (talk) 19:22, 15 November 2011 (UTC)- Support It's not the best picture to depict the type of loc or train, but it illustrates very well the harsh conditions in which rail transport still functions and continues to perform. -- MJJR (talk) 20:26, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Further to my comments above, I agree with that as well. I like the visualised force of the train, and how yet in the same time the landscape dominates the image (after all the train is just a little worm drilling its track through nature). Plenty of encyclopaedic value, and distinct from the two other FPs of train in the snow promoted last year. --ELEKHHT
- Support I hadn't seen it that way, living in a country where it never snows. But it must be really a problem for railways, and this picture depicts it perfectly, therefore I changed my mind per MJJR and Elekhh! --Paolo Costa (talk) 01:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

- Strong support -- Excellent! Could somebody please forward this picture to the Dutch railways, who are able to create chaos with just a few centimeters of snow? MartinD (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
