Support. Interesting picture for the topic. It might do well to be a bit bigger, but I think this size helps show the pattern better. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-02-25 04:15
Neutral More stereotypical than illustrative or even typical. Circeus 04:19, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Interesting photo enlarged, but difficult to decipher in small format. SteveHopson 04:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Illustrates stereotypical suburbia very well. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 05:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Way too small. way depressing too.--Deglr6328 06:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Large enough! (Who could want this as a wall-size poster?) Striking - does a good job of illustrating a suburb crowded to absolute capacity, none of the other shots on the page do this. --Janke | Talk 09:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Maybe we could add it urban sprawl? Neutrality^talk 17:42, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - illustrates really well. Both suburbia and depression. Renata 19:01, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support – looks good. –Joke 21:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Yes, we are all individuals -- Chris 73 | Talk 21:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. Very good picture, but it's too dark - and the main reason for that, I think is the shadows from the houses. The rooftops are always going to be relatively dark, but the streets need to be brighter to stop this picture from being too gray and dark and boring. It'd be a better photo if it was taken closer to noon. zafiroblue05 | Talk 04:09, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The moody lighting suits the subject, IMO. BTW: Have you checked your monitor with the little 4-circle test image on the top of the page? --Janke | Talk 14:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - three circles. :) The colors just look a little dirty to me in some way... zafiroblue05 | Talk 20:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Interesting --Fir0002 www 09:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! Support! - Mailer Diablo 10:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support could be a little bit sharper, but quality is sufficient for support Calderwood 18:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Highly illustrative. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support does a great job of showing what the suburbs are.--Lewk_of_Serthic _contrib ^talk 03:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No encyclopaedic value. Alvinrune ^TALK 00:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm.. I'm confused now. What encyclopaedic value do hay at dawn, goats in mountains, and this boxing picture have over this image of a typical suburban area? sikander 00:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment It's not just that. The image is dark (with shadows covering the streets) and gloomy. Also, the angle of the image seems, I don't know, kind of awkward. Alvinrune ^TALK 21:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A little confusing the the thumbnail, but perhaps that just makes it intriguing. Otherwise a good a clear aerial photo. Surely the Suburb article should have a non-aerial photo too. -- Solipsist 10:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, nice illustration of suburbs and the kind of conformity prevalent in them --Legalizeit 10:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very interesting and rare picture. Staxringold 20:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
