Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Steam Train at Shildon

A Green Passenger Express Steam Locomotive designed for the London and Southwestern railway and built in 1893

Reason: I though about nominating this picture as the light on it I think is quite well divided up and not too bright and it gives the full effect of what Steam trains were like before going into musuems and generally gives a well formatted and eye catching image.

Oppose. Wrong angle, and doesn't have much of encyclopedic value due to the better steam train image already found in the article. Michaelas10 (Talk) 12:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Oppose poor composition - needs cropping and the locomotive is distorted. Poor lighting, there is too much reflection on the tender and splasher and the smokebox detail is lost in shadow. I've moved the image out of the Steam locomotive (please, this is not a train) article into the London and South Western Railway where it is more appropriate. Gwernol 12:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
