Reason: A high quality depiction of a traffic controller, showing the characteristic sweeping gesture and elegant posture. The motion blur of the car in the background adds dynamism to the image.

Weak Oppose: the subject is too small and is surrounded by a lot of distracting stuff. Intothewoods29 (talk) 00:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It must be a hard shot to compose, but I think it would be better if it showed some of the traffic she is directing (not counting the cab that has already gone by). At some intersections, the controller is in a precarious position, which could make for an interesting shot, but in this image she seems disconnected from her activity.

Elegant posture? --Itub (talk) 11:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I don't like the fast moving car in the background- that's very distracting, and has a negative effect on the composition. J Milburn (talk) 16:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No wow factor and quality is not great either --Abdominator (talk) 03:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the points mentioned by Abdominator above. —αἰτίας •discussion• 23:03, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
