  • Oppose First, this isn't exactly the epitome of gothic revival, as a visit to the article will show. Additionally, it's a cut off photo of a bridge, showing only a whimsical support system, where inclusion of the entire bridge is warranted. Other minor negatives: the photo's in black and white, but from 1984; the photo needs some minor edits to remove scratches and dust. upstateNYer 22:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support I think is a nice and clear example of gothic revival/neogothic. The design style is manifest in the detail rather than in the overall span of the bridge, thus I see no problem in not capturing the whole bridge like here. I agree though that BW makes it more nostalgic and maybe more attractive but somewhat less EV. Elekhh (talk) 01:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Good technical quality, interesting subject, agree with Elekhh about the value of focusing on the detail. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 17:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
