Oppose I don't think the picture of the Queen Mary is the best to illustrate the City of Long Beach or a hotel and they're the only articles it appears in. It's not even in RMS Queen Mary which is very telling. File:RMS Queen Mary Long Beach January 2011 view.jpg is better at illustrating the subject. This picture has too much water and the ship takes up about 10% of the image, it is pretty blurry, the ship is too far away to make out any detail, and you can't get any idea of the size of it.

Oppose. The trees and the reflections make for a rather nice picture, but there's no real EV here. J Milburn (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: per J Milburn, trees in front of the subject, which is quite small in the picture to begin with, compromise the EV. -- gtdp ^(T)/_(C) 15:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose Tbh unless it had been mentioned, I wouldn't have noticed the ship in this picture... It's such a small part of it, only the funnels stand out... The cars in front spoil the picture for me too... gazhiley.co.uk 08:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
