51: 527:. I particularly like how the colors (or lack thereof) came out in the image. The DOF was intentional and I thought worked quite well to emphasize the main subject. Sky is blown, but blends in an looks consistent with lightness levels of the street canyon walls (in particular the last visible house). Ok, enough patting my own shoulder ;-)-- 308:, that is an incredible picture (as you can tell by the feedback so far). I would not surprised if it is a finalist at commons PotY. It probably improves every article it is in. As for the basketballer, his image surely belongs in 4 of the 6 articles it is in. There are surely better point guards that could be included in 177:
speak against its EV. Additionally I think the DOF is far too shallow for this particular subject. The blown sky doesn't really help either, though maybe not necessarily a deal breaker, and that '2' sign in the extreme foreground is maybe unavoidable in this instance, but is quite unfortunately placed. --

down the page is in 13 articles, of the 5 I checked you'd added it to all of them in the last few days, and there's a bit of a pattern with your other noms too, for example this is now in 6 articles, the basketballer you've just nommed is in 6... - there's probably not a lot of images that need to be

highest EV article it's way down and doesn't seem particularly irreplaceable there. In many other articles it's just in a gallery. I don't really know the rail system, but the claim to fame seems to be that this train has been rerouted to a line it doesn't usually run on, which would actually seem to
271:
It's not so much a matter article spamming in an attempt to increase its EV, but sorting out what its EV is - I don't think that's overly clear, especially with the 'rerouting' business. Regardless, probably my bigger concern is the very narrow DOF for an image of a train.
316:, but not too many of them have the classic pose of basketball point guard signaling the play. We can discuss the propriety of its use further in its own nom. However, I am merely attempting to add his image in places that could use further visual content.-- 303:
use to say something about images needing to be in articles for 30 days to make sure it really belongs in the article. In this case, the image is appropriate in every use, and probably one of the better pictures in every article it is included in. WRT
403:. Doubtful EV: the Red Line normally operates in an underground tunnel in this part of Chicago, not on elevated tracks. (The text of the caption in the nomination admits this). For this reason, the image represents a risk of misleading the viewer. 449:
I don't see the value of this kind of anomaly in the articles which are generally discussing regular use. If there were an article about this rerouting (and I doubt it would qualify based on notability) it would have much greater value in my eyes.
586:(hopefully leading to a support): The technical and artistic quality of the image are right up there, but could someone please explain the EV? As in, when it's on the main page, what will this image be used to illustrate? 203:) that don't have enough text to support more than the current main image. It could be the main image for the latter quite easily. I just do not know enough about the topic to judge which should be the main image.-- 488:, there should be a section in the history about the major construction that necessitated the rerouting. If desired, I would gladly remove it from the Randolph/Wabash article.-- 618:) for further specifics. I consider this to be a high quality illustration of the Chicago 'L' rolling stock and among the finest example that wikimedia has to offer.-- 305: 275: 709: 565:
At first I looked at this and thought, "boring". Then I looked closer, and found that it is actually quite beautiful and gave me a "wow" response. I'm a fan.

Alternatively, this could be viewed as a rare rerouting where the Red Line was visible above ground during construction.--
