•  Support Striking composition and that sky! :)-- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 23:15, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment - I find this image much more appealing if the bottom third or half of the foreground below the train is cropped off. The focus is the train and that impressive sky. The broadening platform that dominates the foreground is boring and detracts from those elements. --Kbh3^rdtalk 00:23, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Dark clouds doesn't develope featured pictures and I see nothing special about this picture. A dramatic sky may be a good choise for landscape/nature images but here I have the impression the station was just pictured during a bad weather period. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:07, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose. As per the vote on the alternative, I don't find the composition compelling. Diliff (talk) 09:50, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Alternative

• I have uploaded an alternate version at File:Harrow and Wealdstone station MMB 08C 350121.jpg (which I also  Support). -mattbuck (Talk) 14:26, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support this version is more striking -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 18:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment the sunlight with this kind of sky is beautifull -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 18:42, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

  It was quite a stunning few minutes certainly - this and the few I took around then are some of my favourite railway photos. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:33, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose Good quality, but no wow for me --Uoaei1 (talk) 14:28, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose A train station under a dark sky is not a featurable subject for my eyes, sorry. I fail to find something "special" here. Technically very good however. It is only a "no-wow" problem.--Jebulon (talk) 16:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support --Jacek Halicki (talk) 16:28, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I'm not bothered by the sky at all ... this is England we're talking about, after all, a country about whose skies native Douglas Adams once described as having the "natural colour ... [of] a rancid dishrag." Yes, it was rather pleasant during Wikimania, but we had to cancel the Friday evening photo meetup (or at least the outside portion) because of skies like these and the weather they portended.

  I would, however, agree that a tighter bottom crop is called for, probably flush with the junction of the rail and the image edge on the bottom right. Oops, I see now that's been done. Daniel Case (talk) 20:19, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Well, you didn't have to cancel. About 10 of us still went on the photo meet up and suffered through the drowning rain! And apparently another 10 more Spaniards who got separated from us were just behind! ;-) Diliff (talk) 09:49, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, I didn't know that ... we all got separated, the natives decided to go home or to the pub, and the more I thought about it the better that idea sounded. Daniel Case (talk) 05:41, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose. I don't think the composition is very good, and for a static image like this with little wow (for those not into trains, that is), I would expect the composition to be almost perfect. Diliff (talk) 09:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Jebulon and specially per Diliff --LivioAndronico talk 11:35, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
