• Oppose -- You have got a good pic but the picture do not focus on the subject. The farm is only about 40% of the picture. Rest is of no use. You could have zoomed the picture. So oppose....'''Johncy''' (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I strongly disagree. The relationship between wind farms and the aesthetics of landscape is a broadly debated topic, notable in itself. Single turbines are rather standard industrial products, it is how each distinct farm sits in the landscape what makes the difference. That is precisely what this picture depicts. --ELEKHH^T 21:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Disagree too. Colin°^Talk 19:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
    • I agree with Johncy. I think wants to say to crop out the down portion to depict the subject clearer. And some parts of some turbines are missing. So Oppose Benison talk with me 13:48, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose It is a nice enough picture but not special enough to be featured IMO for such a common thing. The clouds make the turbines harder to see in the thumbnail and the rightmost turbine is cropped. Resolution/sharpness are merely adequate. Colin°^Talk 19:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
• Support-I support this for the reasons that ELEKHH has given. The contrast between the streamlined industrialisation of the wind farm and the eroded landscape is good. Also, I don't notice any parts of turbines missing. It's irrelevant to the subject of industrialisation in the rural landscape. This picture isn't simply about turbines.
