Reason
An excellent resolution. This picture is one "worth a thousand words," since it shows two completely different worlds (
Mexico on the right and the
United States on the left) set apart by a borderline.

Weak oppose -- Striking indeed, but the colours seem off.

Support Interesting. Caught my eye and made me look into it more.

Support this was highly educational. I have never seen this border before, and this reminds me of the Haiti/Dominican Republic border, and others where the political border affects geography.

'Oppose doesnt feel like a natural presentation, description needs some clarity I expected mexico would be on the left as its to the "south". Description doesnt help to improve orientation needs a "looking north/south/east/west"

Oppose. Good content, but photo just does not seem clear (I think the smoggy day or maybe the angle). Probably better if fence at center of photo also, and just a little wider aspect ratio (since we empahsize left to right, eye wants more sweep in that dimension). The droppoff (and bushes) in foreground is unfortunate as well (think shot without showing that would be better).

Support Always liked this photo. Never thought to nominate, though. upstateNYer 05:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)reply
Support Really good picture. As you mentioned, it really defines what the candidates should aim for--a picture expressing a thousand words.
