Reason: An impressive view of Ontario Highway 401's widest point with 18 through lanes. This photo, taken from an aircraft, shows the sheer size and scope of the highway as it sprawls into the background of the image.

Oppose We have a shortage of shots from aircraft, and I like this photo. However it is too small and noisy for something repeatable in my view. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way the noise can be edited out? The size of the photo meets the minimum criteria for a featured picture. Haljackey (talk) 00:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Yeah, this is way too noisy but it gives an interesting look at the road. While it is large enough, it's still too small to really even see which direction the cars are facing. I think File:Freeway Overload.jpg has got better EV for local-express lanes and Ontario Highway 401 as it shows route signs, but that too is noisy. The EV for The Basketweave is pretty low because it's depicted in the very top of the image within all that haze and it's barely discernible. The EV for dual carriageway is low too given that this has way more lanes than what most people would consider a dual carriageway. Matthewedwards : Chat 04:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
