  • Comment Would like to see a longer part of the bridge; furthermore, aren't the square pillars concrete, or do my eyes (or the photo) deceive? --Janke | Talk 15:05, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - it's very scenic, but only shows a small part of the bridge, and one where, as Janke says, almost all the historic wooden pillars have been replaced with concrete. I think the previous lead image gave a better impression of the bridge's size and primary construction; this overhead view perhaps better still. TSP (talk) 16:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I added a wider image to the article, by the nominator. Bammesk (talk) 03:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn Agree with the comments, however IMO wider image is not composition-wise as aesthetic. —kallerna 04:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
