[edit] Falkirk Wheel

I like this picture. It's big, bright, and beautiful. Taken by SeanMack, who has given us may more beautiful images.

• This is cool and interesting...it'll have my support once the discussion period ends. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 23:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• That is indeed a spectacular structure, but I have to nit-pick again. From the picture it was not immediately clear to me what it actually does. I'd love to see this same picture just with the wheel rotated a tiny bit. Like this the structure still is spectacular but the photo just isn't. --Dschwen 16:05, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• support - I do think the picture would normally be regarded as a little bland, but the structure is remarkable enough. It looks a good encyclopedic type of subject matter: yeah, you can pick all sorts of holes in the worth of that statement, but it won't change my vote ;oP --bodnotbod 16:53, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, except that this should be comments only ;-) --Dschwen 20:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

• support. Great sense of depth, good color.Jeeb 03:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• Support - Weird beyond weird. One of those images that makes you wonder what else is out there that you never knew existed. It looks like it belongs about 30 years in the future.--Deglr6328 04:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• I'll support. Very interesting object and I think this picture shows it well. I admit one showing it in action may be preferable but I'll still support this one. Raven4x4x 08:00, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
• ( + ) Support I really like this photo - very unusual. Perhaps Image:Falkirk wheel.jpg might be a better photo to demonstrate the effect. But will support this photo. --Fir0002 09:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Support - absolutely beautiful - Adrian Pingstone 11:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - people have shown a bit of interest in the rotation of the wheel, so I went back and found other shots that I took that day and have added them to Falkirk_Wheel hopefully illustrating the mechanism adequately and improving the article. Thanks everyone for the comments. SeanMack 16:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong support. Seeing it in action impacts the article, not the quality of this individual image; who's exceptional lines and perspective would be ruined by the wheel being in use. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 00:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Support. A better and detailed caption would definitely add to the image, although you would imagine that anyone who stumbles across the article in which this photo sits would already have some idea. Diliff 01:14, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Support --Rogerd 03:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Support. While this doesn't really show what it does, I think it's striking enough to be an FP. Its workings can be shown by a more detailed caption and other images. The image linked above showed more of its workings, but was a little too bland for FP status IMO. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:28, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Support. It is an amazing picture. Carioca 19:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Support: gorgeous ... I'd prefer an action shot from the same perspective... but this will do!  ALKIVAR™ 22:21, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Support - Woo. A bit grainy, better at lower res. Vanderdecken ^℘ζξ 13:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
