Bosphorus Bridge at Nightfall

Reason: significant bridge in Turkey, looks brilliant, contrast is beautiful and lighting is lovely. Good candidate.

Oppose comparatively small on the y-axis and overly compressed. Not much detail. I would be interested to see a less reduced original though. de Bivort 19:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)][reply]
Oppose. Great thumb, but a let down at full size. Also the red channel is blown considerably (and so are the other channels in most of the lights), so I'm not entirely convinced that the full size version (should it exist) would be a suitable candidate either. --Dschwen 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Would have benefited from some HDR or exposure blending - or indeed from being shot half an hour earlier - as the contrast is too high between the background areas and the brightly lit areas that have consequently become blown out. Mfield (talk) 20:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Very noisy. crassic!^[talk] 01:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - prominent JPG compression artifacts, blown red channel, small for a pano. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 10:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above, and sky looks odd. Spencer^T♦^C 22:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on the grounds of the black-out. Could be anywhere. And the darkness gives a negative message for something which is about "building bridges" between East and West. That said the daylight shot in the article does not provide the answer either. The subject needs a bit of ingenuity. Motmit (talk) 23:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
