Metallurgist working by the blast furnaces in Třinec Iron and Steel Works

Reason: Great photograph showing hard (and hot) work of tough men in the iron and steel works. Appears in a few articles, it is illustrative, encyclopedic and ... ... quite rare, as they won't allow everybody to enter the mill .

Oppose. Not very interesting and you can't really see what the man is doing.--enano ^(Talk) 19:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As above. Plus the black square in the bottom left and the rod on the right distract a little bit. -Midnight Rider 02:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Aha. Photographer should have moved them before taking the photo? - Darwinek 09:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, but you could crop them out, or photograph from a different angle Jack · talk · 00:07, Friday, 2 February 2007

- Comment. Are there are particular reasons why you support? Which of the FPC Criteria do you believe it fulfills? Pstuart84 Talk 00:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Re: it is just a personal feeling, I think it fulfils the crtierias. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 09:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose - good subject, but I agree with Enano275, it would be much better if it was immediately obvious what he's doing. Reminds me of this image of a man welding, which leaves little to the imagination - Jack · talk · 00:05, Friday, 2 February 2007
Oppose. Poor angle, size, resolution, clarity .--Jean-Pol Grandmont ^(Talk) 12:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support cool image :) Petr K 19:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Striking but subject is unclear. —Dgies^t c 08:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Nice image but IMO fails C5, it's not clear what the man does there or what it is all about either. It would be nice if it was explained at least in the caption. I also don't like the promotion of the (corporate) author of this image – copyrighted work used by permission with attribution.--Pethr 21:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
