;Reason:A detailed shot of an imposing snow and mud-covered Abrams tank operating in a clear and apparently pristine winter environment, one not often associated with the tank in the media, but nonetheless part of the design considerations of the tank.

* '''Oppose''' The perspective at 18mm is a bit to exaggerated for my liking, a view from a more side on position would have enc greater value. The amount of detail present isn't also anything to write home about. There are also blown highlights here and there, but on nothing of importance [[User:Noodle snacks|Noodle snacks]] ([[User talk:Noodle snacks|talk]]) 23:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' The picture is not sharp, and I'm distracted by the too beautiful white snow background which casts some ironic image to the subject.--[[User talk:Caspian blue|'''Caspian''' blue]] 01:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Weak Support Edit 1''' The 18mm is not ideal but it's not too bad and personally I think the background alleviates this from the mundane to something quite interesting. Also I think there's quite a bit of detail in the original, although it hasn't been sharpened much in PP --[[User:Fir0002|Fir0002]] 06:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Support either''' - I agree that the snow adds artistic merit to the picture. [[User:Intothewoods29|Intothewoods29]] ([[User talk:Intothewoods29|talk]]) 19:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Weak Support edit 1''' It's good enough in this edit for a weak support. Frankly, I find it interesting. '''[[User:Spencer|Spencer]]'''[[User talk:Spencer|T♦]][[Special:Contributions/Spencer|C]] 02:17, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Does not illustrate the Abrams particularly well. The snowy background isn't a problem but it doesn't add anything valuable in my mind either artistically or more importantly encyclopedicly. --[[User:Daniel J. Leivick|Leivick]] ([[User talk:Daniel J. Leivick|talk]]) 07:48, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Not a very good angle, loses enc. --[[User:Janke|Janke]] | [[User talk:Janke|Talk]] 10:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' per Noodle snacks. [[User:Makeemlighter|Makeemlighter]] ([[User talk:Makeemlighter|talk]]) 01:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
