  • Oppose A food picture needs to be very professionally lit and executed to make your mouth water. This one doesn't... The non-cut-open alt. is marginally better, but not much. --Janke | Talk 19:25, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as nominatorBammesk (talk) 17:27, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I own four similar indicators (for use in my live steam hobby), and they are all-metal. This one looks to have a shell and shaft of transparent plastic - which it most probably hasn't. I guess it's an issue with the studio lighting and reflections in the metal, thus a bit misleading. Compare with this one [[1]], where the lighting is such that the shaft is clearly seen to be of metal. I've never seen one with transparent parts... ;-) --Janke | Talk 20:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It definitely doesn't have a plastic or transparent shell/shaft. There is no such thing :-) The shaft is entirely steel, and polished, it's highly reflective. That's where the bright white comes from. One can call the lighting over-exposed, but definitely not plastic! Another image: [2] for reference. Bammesk (talk) 02:06, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You implied that it could 'probably' be plastic by writing: "plastic - which it most probably hasn't". I had to address that 'probability', I wasn't questioning your vote. Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 03:13, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Gateway Generating Station, a combined-cycle natural gas-fired power station in Antioch, California constructed in 2009.


Rectified version
Reason
I've never nominated an image here before, but the idea has interested me for a while, so I'll see how this goes. I think this is a good picture. It's in clear focus, it shows the whole plant, there is nothing else to distract from it, and as far as I know it's the highest-resolution photograph of this thing that exists anywhere in the world. I am not sure what category it belongs in -- this one has a similar photo of an oil rig, this one has a photo of a hydroelectric plant, and this one has a steel mill and telescope array.

      • This version looks much better, and if it helps to work with the original version prior to my lens corrections, I can link that as well. (What is the protocol for if I think your edit is good? Should I just upload it over my version, or should you upload it over my version, or what?) jp×g 16:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
