Self-nom on this one. I don't think we've had a long exposure shot as a featured picture. Hellbus (talk) 07:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment Kinda interesting, but needs to be viewed in a larger size than thumbnail to make any sense at all... Needs a good caption, too. --Janke | Talk 07:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Comment, mmm I'm inclined to agree that it's a bit confusing - I didn't even realise it was a crossing until I viewed the full image. Arty rather than informative, I suppose. Bob talk 13:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Point taken. Just thought I'd try something different. Hellbus (talk) 15:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  - Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a criticism, I quite like the picture itself, I was just a bit unclear whether it was really a railway photograph or more of a photographic technique demonstration. I suppose a possible caption could be that it demonstrates the working of a railway crossing (i.e. the movement of the arms, etc). Bob talk 19:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I can support this one. We used another long exposure of a Japanese train last year. I've tried to get a similar effect on a model railroad; it's not as easy on a model. Slambo (Speak) 16:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
