• Weak oppose. Sharp, but a lot of the subject is hidden behind the dust. I prefer Image:M1-A1 Abrams 1.jpg, on the M1 Abrams article. It looks a little oversaturated, but at least you can see the entire thing. --Tewy 02:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I thought about your suggested image, but I thought the tank looked a little too beat up. I choose this one from the remaining pics since the view is unconventional; most tanks are photographed with the turret facing forward, not off to one side. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• oppose, too obscured by dust to show most of the tank, not enough going on for an action shot--I'd want to see it firing or going over some obstacle that shows off its abilities. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 03:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  • It is going over an obstacle: that is a hill in the foreground. As for action, is this more along the lines of what you were looking for? TomStar81 (Talk) 04:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Most of the tank is obscured. Even the alternate image is not good enough as the blast is very distracting. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not particularly good quality, dull colors, composition distracting, and too muh dust. NauticaShades 07:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. There is too much dust, and too much of the tank is obscured. - jlao ⁰⁴ 02:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
